BAD1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3010G178300 (BAD1) on sorghum chromosome 10 encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase family protein with multiple NAD(P)+-dependent activities, including succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase and coniferyl-aldehyde dehydrogenase activity. The gene is associated with GABA catabolism and the GABA shunt, cellular detoxification of aldehydes, and responses to anoxia, water, desiccation, and insects. It has been linked to leaf water potential, grain filling period, photosynthetic rate, disease tolerance, root morphology, and plant growth and development traits. Associations with salt, drought, osmotic, heat, and combined stress tolerance, as well as photosynthetic capacity and efficiency, have been observed. The gene product localizes to mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplast stroma, the apoplast, and the endoplasmic reticulum. Related genes in other species link the family to grain fragrance, seed development, grain size, male sterility, and fungal blast resistance.
