Induction of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase by submergence facilitates oxidation of acetaldehyde during re‐aeration in rice

Abstract: Post-hypoxic injuries in plants are primarily caused by bursts of reactive oxygen species and acetaldehyde. In agreement with previous studies, we found accumulations of acetaldehyde in rice during re-aeration following submergence. During re-aeration, acetaldehyde-oxidizing aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity increased, thereby causing the acetaldehyde content to decrease in rice. Interestingly, re-aerated rice plants showed an intense mitochondrial ALDH2a protein induction, even though ALDH2a mRNA was sub… Show more

“…Mitochondrial isoforms of AlDh2 are encoded by at least two gene copies in the rice nuclear genome. ALDH2a gene was expressed in various organs at much higher levels than ALDH2b in darkgrown seedlings under submergence (13,17,18). our results showed that ALDH2a gene expression was comparable in both dark-grown and light/dark-grown rice seedlings under submergence (Fig.…”

“…2). tsuji et al (18) suggested that rice ALDH2a mRnA was accumulated during submergence in order to quickly metabolize acetaldehyde produced upon reaeration. expression of ALDH2a gene was markedly enhanced under submergence, while that of ALDH2b gene was almost completely inhibited (Fig.…”

“…2). Expression of ALDH2a is usually associated with the ability to metabolize acetaldehyde during reaeration because, although mRNA accumulates during low-oxygen treatment and not upon reaeration, enzyme activity increases only when plants are transferred from submergence to aerobic conditions (Tsuji et al, 2003). ALDH activity correlates with anoxia tolerance in varieties of Echinocloa crus-galli and it has been proposed that ALDH may detoxify acetaldehyde formed through alcoholic fermentation during anaerobic germination (Fukao et al, 2003).…”

“…Transcript abundance from nuclearencoded genes for components of both the cytochrome and alternative oxidases in mitochondria were reduced during anoxia and induced by air adaptation. The same authors have shown recently a specific isoform of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2a) is induced on re-aeration of hypoxic rice seedlings, putatively to defend against damage from acetaldehyde accumulation post-submergence (24).…”
