Aldehyde dehydrogenase superfamily in sorghum: genome-wide identification, evolution, and transcript profiling during development stages and stress conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a family of NAD(P)⁺ dependent enzymes that detoxify aldehydes by promoting their oxidation to respective carboxylic acids. The role of ALDH enzymes in various plant species has been extensively studied, revealing their critical role in salinity, drought, heat, and heavy metal stress tolerance. Despite their physiological significance, ALDH genes in Sorghum bicolor have yet to be studied thoroughly.

Results

In this study, a total of 19 ALDH genes have been identified that have been grouped into ten families based on the criteria of the ALDH gene nomenclature committee. Segmental duplication assisted more in the enhancement of SbALDH gene family members than tandem duplication. All the identified SbALDH members made a c
