The glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase(FALDH) plays a key role in formaldehyde metabolism. FALDH is identified as an enzyme expressed in the cytoplasm. If we make FALDH over-express in plants, we can enhance plants’ tolerance to HCHO and increase the ability of plants to absorb HCHO. In the process of metabolism of formaldehyde, the formaldehyde may first combined with glutathione (GSH) to form the product of S-hydroxymethyl glutathione (HM-GSH), then FALDH in cytoplasm will catalyzes the formation of a S-formyl glutathione(F-GSH). Next the F-GSH will be hydrolyzed to formate(HCOOH) and GSH by S-formyl glutathione hydrolase (FGH).
