ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD1AV1G206670 (TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 1A encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) and S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activities (EC 1.1.1.1). The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, hydrogen peroxide, heat acclimation, and osmotic and salinity stress, as well as seed development, programmed cell death, and cellular respiration. It has been linked to traits including drought tolerance, low temperature stress response, herbicide sensitivity, photosynthetic rate, leaf senescence, disease tolerance, and nitrogen content. The protein localizes to the cytosol, plastid, mitochondria, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species are associated with submergence tolerance, aldehyde detoxification, hypoxia resistance, and cold stress tolerance.
