ALDH4 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_001G072600, designated PvALDH4 on French bean chromosome 1, encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase family protein with NAD⁺-dependent activity toward multiple aldehyde substrates, including succinate-semialdehyde, betaine-aldehyde and gamma-guanidinobutyraldehyde. The gene is associated with GABA catabolism, alkanal metabolism and cellular detoxification of aldehydes. It is associated with responses to desiccation, salinity, abscisic acid and abiotic stress, as well as with drought and salt tolerance. The product localises to the amyloplast, mitochondrial lumen, plastid, cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, plasmodesma and plant-type vacuole. Related genes in other species are linked to seed dormancy, root length and salt tolerance traits.
