ADH1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA039649 (ADH1) in Indica rice encodes a protein with esterase-like and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) domains, including ADH_Zn_CS and NAD(P)-binding domains, and exhibits 8-hydroxygeraniol dehydrogenase, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase, and aldo-keto reductase activities, along with zinc binding. The gene is associated with methanal catabolism, indole alkaloid and isoprenoid metabolism, the MAPK cascade, and response to jasmonic acid. Its product localizes to the cytosol and nucleus. ADH1 is associated with submergence tolerance and plant height. Related genes in other species connect the family to EC 1.1.1.1 activity, but these functions are not established for this rice gene.
