Cloning and sequence analysis of the safflower betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene

Y. B. Wang, Guan, L. L., Xu, Y. W., Shen, H., and Wu, W., Cloning and sequence analysis of the safflower betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, vol. 13, pp. 344-353, 2014.

In response to salinity or drought stress, many plants accumulate glycine betaine, which is a regulator of osmosis. In plants, the last step in betaine synthesis is catalyzed by betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), a nuclear-encoded chloroplastic enzyme. Based on the conserved oligo amino acid residues of the published BADH genes from other higher plant species, a cDNA sequence, designated CtBADH, was isolated from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) using a polymerase chain reaction approach.
