SGT1 — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_38353 (SGT1, TOGT1) in Nicotiana attenuata encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with multiple glucosyltransferase activities, including anthocyanin 3'-O-beta-glucosyltransferase, scopoletin glucosyltransferase, and abscisic acid glucosyltransferase activity. The gene is associated with defense responses, including response to insects, systemic acquired resistance, cell death, and response to other organisms. It is linked to flavonol biosynthetic process, saponin metabolism, triterpenoid anabolism, ethylene anabolism, and metabolic burst. Associations also include bacterial disease response, reactive oxygen species accumulation, hypersensitive response, disease resistance, and pathogen resistance. The gene is linked to protein secretion, signal transduction, and cellular response to hypoxia. Related genes in other species are linked to flavonoid content, plant height, fruit size, and disease tolerance.
