The cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) multigene family in planta encodes proteins catalyzing the reductions of various phenylpropenyl aldehyde derivatives in a substrate versatile manner, and whose metabolic products are the precursors of structural lignins, health-related lignans, and various
Nucleotide variation at the alcohol dehydrogenase locus (Adh) was studied in the outcrossing Arabidopsis lyrata, a close relative of the selfing Arabidopsis thaliana. Overall, estimated nucleotide diversity in the North American ssp. lyrata and two European ssp. petraea populations was 0.0038, lower
BACKGROUND
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are widely consumed as a source of proteins and natural products. However, its yield needs to be increased. In line with the agenda of Phaseomics (an international consortium), work of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) generation from bean pods was
Epigenetic modifications regulate plant genes to cope with a variety of environmental stresses. Chorispora bungeana is an alpine subnival plant with strong tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses, especially cold stress. In this study, we characterized the alcohol dehydrogenase 1 gene from Chorispora
Six independent mutant lines of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia resistant to ethanol, designated E3, E8, E101, E112, E144 and E251, were isolated as germinating seedlings on selective medium. In all cases, resistance to ethanol was conferred by a single recessive nuclear mutation at the same locus. Mutant
Sequence variation at the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) locus was analyzed for six species each of the genera Arabis and Arabidopsis. Phylogenetic analysis showed that investigated species were grouped into three clusters, and the generic classification did not correspond to the clusterings. The
We present results showing that several species in the plant genus Leavenworthia, in the Brassica family, have three alcohol dehydrogenase loci, unlike Arabidopsis thaliana, which has only a single classical (class P) alcohol dehydrogenase locus. Based on a portion of the sequence, the alcohol
Overexpression of Arabidopsis thaliana genes for the fermentation enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase, improved the tolerance of A. thaliana hairy roots to low oxygen conditions. Whereas the specific growth rate of untransformed hairy roots in shake flasks and in a
Screens were made for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) of the classical type (the MDR superfamily) in translations of human and other relevant genomes, corresponding to the organism types from which the enzyme was initially purified. Considerable multiplicities were detected in the dimeric enzymes from
To understand the molecular mechanisms that control seed formation, we selected a seed-preferential gene (CvADH1) from the ESTs of developing watermelon seeds. RNA blot analysis and in situ localization showed that CvADH1 was preferentially expressed in the nucellar tissue. The CvADH1 protein shared
Although considerable research and speculation have been directed toward understanding a plant's perception of gravity and the resulting gravitropic responses, little is known about the role of gravity-dependent physical processes in normal physiological function. These studies were conducted to
Proper exchange of atmospheric gases is important for normal root and shoot metabolism in plants. This study was conducted to determine how restricted air supply affects foliar carbohydrates, while using the marker enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to report on the oxygenation status of the
Arabidopsis thaliana provides an excellent experimental plant system for molecular genetics because of its remarkably small genome size, near absence of dispersed middle repetitive DNA, and short life cycle. We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of a single-copy gene from A. thaliana
We designate a region of the alcohol dehydrogenase locus (Adh) of the weedy crucifer, Arabidopsis thaliana, as "hypervariable" on the basis of a comparison of sequences from ecotypes Columbia and Landsberg. We found eight synonymous and two replacement mutations in the first 262 nucleotides of exon
The vascular tissue of roots performs essential roles in the physical support and transport of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules in higher plants. The molecular mechanisms underlying the function of root vascular tissue are poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed the expression pattern
