ADH1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA009437 (ADH1) on chromosome 3 of Indica rice encodes a protein belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family with an NAD(P)-binding domain, annotated with oxidoreductase activity acting on CH-OH groups of donors, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, and isomerase activity. The gene is associated with small molecule biosynthesis, monoterpenoid and terpenoid anabolism, and the MAPK cascade, and its product localizes to mitochondria. ADH1 is linked to grain filling period, submergence tolerance, photosynthetic rate, and plant height. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional traits such as grain zinc content, amylose content, starch digestibility, seedling height, root traits, and salt response, though these associations are not established for this rice gene.
