ADH — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB026710 (ZmADH) encodes a protein with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) activity, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, redox activity, calcium ion binding, zinc binding, protein homodimerization activity, and protein binding. The gene is associated with ethanol metabolism, anaerobic respiration, activation of cellular response to hypoxic stress, methanal metabolism and catabolism, S-nitrosylation, pentose anabolism, cell wall polysaccharide anabolism, DNA amplification, DNA modification, and carbohydrate storage. ZmADH has been linked to seedling height, root fresh and dry weight, shoot dry weight, root length and number, lignin and protein content, photosynthetic and respiration rates, leaf senescence, herbicide sensitivity, and tolerance to drought, low temperature, submergence, waterlogging, hypoxia, chilling, salt, and clubroot disease. The protein localizes to the plastid, mitochondria, cytosol, plasma membrane, and nucleus.
