CAD — Sorghum bicolor
Summary
SORBI_3010G072200, designated SbCAD, encodes a cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) with aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP+) and mannitol dehydrogenase activities, classified under EC 1.1.1.195. This sorghum gene on chromosome 10 is associated with lignin anabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolism, C4 photosynthesis, and defense responses to bacteria and water stress. It has been linked to lignin content, photosynthetic rate, IAA content, and reproductive period, as well as phenotypes including disease resistance, arsenic tolerance and translocation, basal thermotolerance, and ethanol yield. The encoded protein localizes to the apoplast, cytosol, and plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to lignin biosynthesis, plant defense, cell wall composition, stem strength, and flowering time.
