BAD1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3006G109500 (BAD1) on sorghum chromosome 6 encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase family protein with multiple NAD-dependent activities, including betaine-aldehyde, succinate-semialdehyde, and coniferyl-aldehyde dehydrogenase activity. The gene is associated with GABA catabolism and the GABA shunt, cellular detoxification of aldehydes, and responses to anoxia, desiccation, and water availability. It has been linked to leaf water potential, photosynthetic rate, grain filling period, root morphology, and disease and insect damage response traits. Associations also include salt, drought, osmotic, and heat stress tolerance, as well as photosynthetic efficiency, redox homeostasis, and herbicide tolerance. The product localizes to mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplast stroma, and the apoplast, and is connected to glycine betaine biosynthesis, amino acid metabolism, and phenylpropanoid anabolism.
