ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4AV1G156850 (TtADH) on durum wheat chromosome 4A encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) and S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activities, belonging to the ADH_Zn_CS and ADH-like families. The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, hydrogen peroxide, heat acclimation, osmotic and salinity stress, as well as seed development, programmed cell death, and cellular respiration. It has been linked to traits including respiration and photosynthetic rates, nitrogen content, herbicide sensitivity, drought and low temperature stress tolerance, leaf senescence, and disease tolerance. Localisation evidence places the product in plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to nitric oxide signalling, formaldehyde detoxification, and responses to hypoxia, dehydration, and cold stress.
