UGT — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G084530 (MtUGT) encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with multiple annotated activities, including cyanidin-3-rhamnosylglucoside 5-O-glucosyltransferase, anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase, flavanone 7-O-beta-glucosyltransferase, indole-3-acetate beta-glucosyltransferase, abscisic acid glucosyltransferase, and quercetin 3-O- and 7-O-glucosyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with pigmentation, anthocyanin and isoflavonoid anabolism, saponin anabolism, secondary metabolism, detoxification, fruit ripening, pollen tube growth, response to salicylate, and negative regulation of response to water deprivation. It has been linked to seed growth and development traits, as well as phenotypes including anthocyanin accumulation, ABA accumulation, drought tolerance, osmotic stress tolerance, salt stress tolerance, root gravitropism, and pollen tube tip growth. The encoded protein localises to the cytoplasm, nucleus, Golgi complex, and plasmalemma.
