ADH — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6AV1G151080, designated TtADH, encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, binding zinc and localising to the cytosol. This durum wheat gene on chromosome 6A is associated with methanal catabolism and nitric oxide storage. TtADH has been linked to nitrogen content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to broader metabolic and stress-related processes, though these associations are not yet established for TtADH itself.
