ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4AV1G156730 (TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 4A encodes a protein with ADH_Zn_CS, ADH-like_N, ADH-like_C, GroES-like_sf, and NAD(P)-bd_dom_sf domains, and has S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) activity, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, redox activity, calcium ion binding, protein homodimerization activity, zinc binding, and protein binding. 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 is linked to traits including photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, nitrogen content, drought tolerance, low temperature stress response, leaf senescence, herbicide sensitivity, and disease tolerance. The product localises to the cytosol, plastid, mitochondria, nucleus, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to submergence, waterlogging, hypoxia, and cold stress tolerance, as well as formaldehyde detoxification and nitric oxide signalling.
