Genome-wide analysis of the UGT gene family in Rhododendron and transcriptional correlation of RiUGT43 with anthocyanin accumulation
UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze the glycosylation of anthocyanins and are key enzymes affecting anthocyanin stability and petal coloration. However, the evolutionary characteristics of the UGT family and its regulatory roles in flower color development remain poorly understood in woody ornamental plants....
