BADH — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsBADH (OS02G0184650) in rice encodes a betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase. The gene is associated with glycine betaine and betaine anabolism, the GABA shunt, proline metabolism, ethanol metabolism, fermentation, aerobic respiration, the TCA cycle, starch anabolism, and translation initiation. It is linked to responses to salt and other stresses, programmed cell death, seed germination, microsporogenesis, syngamy, meiosis, and organ growth. Trait associations include grain yield, grain size, plant height, stem and culm diameter, pollen fertility, and protein content.
