Analysis of the UDP-Glucosyltransferase (UGT) Gene Family and Its Functional Involvement in Drought and Salt Stress Tolerance in Phoebe bournei.

ABSTRACT: Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UDP-GTs, UGTs), which are regulated by UGT genes, play a crucial role in glycosylation. In vivo, the activity of UGT genes can affect the availability of metabolites and the rate at which they can be eliminated from the body. UGT genes can exert their regulatory effects through mechanisms such as post-transcriptional modification, substrate subtype specificity, and drug interactions. Phoebe bournei is an economically significant tree species that is endemic to southern China. Despite extensive studies on the UGT gene family in various species, a comprehensive investigation of the UGT family in P. bournei has not been reported. Therefore, we conducted a systematic analysis to identify 156 UG
