UGT — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G107600V4 (GmUGT) encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase family protein with UDP-glucosyltransferase activity, including cyanidin-3-rhamnosylglucoside 5-O-glucosyltransferase, anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase, and indole-3-acetate beta-glucosyltransferase activities. This gene is associated with pigmentation, isoflavonoid anabolism, detoxification, negative regulation of response to water deprivation, and cellular respiration. It has been linked to flavonoid content, protein content, seed growth and development traits, and heterosis. Associations also include anthocyanin accumulation and biosynthesis, ABA accumulation, drought tolerance, osmotic and salt stress tolerance, root gravitropism, and root hair development. The gene product localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, Golgi complex, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species are associated with sinapate metabolism, lignin synthesis, and p-aminobenzoate glucose ester formation.
