TL;DR: Increased activity of Ath-ALDH3 appears to constitute a detoxification mechanism that limits aldehyde accumulation and oxidative stress, thus revealing a novel pathway of detoxification in plants.

TL;DR: The results indicate that ALDH3I1 and ALDH7B4 not only function as aldehyde-detoxifying enzymes, but also as efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers and lipid peroxidation-inhibiting enzymes.

TL;DR: Members of the ALDH gene superfamily in Arabidopsis are identified and a revised, unified nomenclature for these ALDH genes is provided, which describes the role of ALDHs in cytoplasmic male sterility, plant defense and abiotic stress tolerance.

TL;DR: Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) genes have been identified in almost all organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, but particularly in plants knowledge is very limited with respect to their function.

TL;DR: The aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) gene superfamily comprises a group of enzymes involved in the NAD-o r NADP-dependent conversion of various aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids.
