UFGT — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB05G43970S (UFGT, BjUGT78D2) on Indian mustard chromosome B05 encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with multiple transferase activities, including kaempferol 3-O-galactosyltransferase, cyanidin 3-O-galactosyltransferase, anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase, flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase, quercetin 7-O-glucosyltransferase, and quercetin 3-O-glucosyltransferase. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, coumarin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, pigmentation, and nitric oxide storage. It is linked to polar auxin transport, plant stature, and flavonoid biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flavonoid glycosylation and ubiquinone biosynthesis. Sequence similarity also links the family to plant height.
