ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD1BV1G017530 (TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 1B encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase-like N-terminal domain-containing protein with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) activity, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, and aldo-keto reductase activity. It is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, hydrogen peroxide, and heat acclimation, as well as seed development, programmed cell death, and osmotic and salinity responses. The gene is linked to traits including respiration rate, photosynthetic rate, nitrogen content, drought tolerance, herbicide sensitivity, leaf senescence, disease tolerance, and low temperature stress response. It localises to the plastid, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to submergence tolerance, waterlogging tolerance, hypoxia resistance, and cold stress tolerance.
