Genome-wide characterization of the UDP-glycosyltransferase gene family in upland cotton.

ABSTRACT: Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) involved in many metabolic processes are ubiquitous in plants, animals, microorganisms and other organisms and are essential for their growth and development. Upland cotton contains a large number of UGT genes. In this study, we aimed to identify UGT family members in the genome of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and analyze their expression patterns. Bioinformatics methods were used to identify UGT genes from the whole genome of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. acc. TM-1). Phylogenetic analysis was conducted based on alignment of UGT proteins from upland cotton, and the gene structure, motif and chromosome localization were analyzed for the H subgroup of the UGT family. And the physical and chemical properties a
