ADH — Zea mays

Summary

ZmADH (ZM00001EB168550) on maize chromosome 4 encodes a protein with ADH_Zn_CS, ADH-like_N, ADH-like_C, GroES-like_sf, and NAD(P)-bd_dom_sf domains. It 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, metal binding, zinc binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, anaerobic respiration, detection of hypoxia, activation of cellular response to hypoxic stress, methanal metabolism and catabolism, ethanol metabolism, pentane anabolism, DNA amplification and modification, cell wall polysaccharide anabolism, response to estradiol and caffeine, sex determination, S-nitrosylation, pachytene, DNA breakdown, and carbohydrate storage. It is linked to traits including seedling height, respiration rate, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, nitrogen content, ear length, root dry weight, herbicide sensitivity, spikelet number, lateral root number, root number, lignin content, low temperature stress response, photosynthetic rate, grain number, leaf senescence, grain size, protein content, grain weight, anthesis time, grain yield, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance. It is also linked to phenotypes including submergence tolerance, aldehyde detoxification
