UGT — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_001G265400 (PvUGT) on chromosome 1 of French bean encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with multiple glucosyltransferase activities, including anthocyanin 5-O-glucosyltransferase, flavanone 7-O-beta-glucosyltransferase, and indole-3-acetate beta-glucosyltransferase. The gene is associated with pigmentation, anthocyanin and flavonoid biosynthesis, seed development and germination, fruit ripening, and responses to abscisic acid and salicylate. It has been linked to seed color, seed growth and development traits, and to phenotypes including anthocyanin accumulation, ABA accumulation, drought tolerance, osmotic and salt stress tolerance, root gravitropism, and pollen tube growth. Related genes in other species connect the family to p-aminobenzoate glucose ester formation and abiotic stress responses, and to resistance to Phytophthora infestans.
