UGT gene family identification and functional analysis of <i>HvUGT1</i> under drought stress in wild barley.

ABSTRACT: Drought stress poses a significant threat to global agriculture, highlighting the urgent need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying plant drought tolerance. The UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) gene family plays crucial roles in diverse biological processes in plants. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the UGT gene family in wild barley EC_S1, focusing on gene characteristics, subcellular localization, phylogenetic relationships, and protein structure. A total of 175 UGT gene family members were identified, exhibiting diverse patterns in protein length, molecular weight, isoelectric point, hydrophilicity, and subcellular localization. Most genes are located at chromosome ends. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the UGT genes into seven clusters, with barley-specific
