Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: AhCSD2
• Gene Name: Cu/Zn-SOD
• Genome:
• Species: Arachis hypogaea

Functional Descriptions:

• We obtained the full-length DNA of the chloroplast Cu/Zn-SOD gene (AhCSD2) from 11 allotetraploid cultivars and 5 diploid wild species in peanut.
• BLAST search against the peanut genome showed that the AhCSD2 genes gCSD2-1 and gCSD2-2 are located at the tops of chromosome A03 (A genome) and B03 (B genome), respectively, and both contain 8 exons and 7 introns.
• The ultimate goal of this study is to provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanism of SOD activity and the AhCSD2 gene in response to drought stress.
• We hypothesize that the marked changes in SOD activity in different cultivars under drought stress are tightly regulated by transcription factors through transcription and expression of AhCSD2 genes.
