UGT — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_8G083280 (MtUGT) on barrel medic chromosome 8 encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with multiple glucosyltransferase activities, including anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase, isoflavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase, and abscisic acid glucosyltransferase. The gene is associated with pigmentation, anthocyanin and isoflavonoid biosynthesis, secondary and saponin metabolism, detoxification, and regulation of abscisic acid-mediated signalling and response to water deprivation. It has been linked to seed growth and development traits, as well as drought, salt, and osmotic stress tolerance. Localisation evidence connects the product to the cytoplasm, nucleus, Golgi complex, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species have been linked to ABA accumulation, p-aminobenzoate glucose ester formation, root gravitropism, and resistance to Phytophthora infestans.
