Genome-wide characterization of Solanum tuberosum UGT gene family and functional analysis of StUGT178 in salt tolerance.

ABSTRACT: UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) widely exist in plants and play essential roles in catalyzing the glycosylation reaction associated with metabolic processes. UGT gene family has been identified in many species to date. However, the comprehensive identification and systematic analysis have not been documented yet in the latest potato genome. In this study, a total of 295 UGT members (StUGT) were identified and found to be unevenly distributed on twelve chromosomes of potato. All StUGT genes were classified into 17 groups (A-P, R) and the UGT genes within the same groups have similar structural characterization. Tandem duplication was the major driving force for the StUGT gene expansion. The prediction of cis-acting elements showed that the development process, light, phytohormone, and abiot
