ADH — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3005G103300 (SbADH) on sorghum chromosome 5 encodes a protein with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) activity, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase activity, and calcium ion binding. The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, hydrogen peroxide, and heat acclimation, as well as seed development, starch metabolism, cell wall modification, and cellular respiration. It has been linked to traits including drought tolerance, low temperature stress response, herbicide sensitivity, photosynthetic rate, plant height, stem thickness, sucrose and starch content, leaf senescence, and disease tolerance. Phenotypic associations include submergence, waterlogging, hypoxia, and cold stress tolerance, aldehyde detoxification, fermentation, and stomatal closure. The protein localizes to plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, nucleus, and plasma membrane.
