Genome-wide identification of UDP-glycosyltransferase gene family in Dendrobium huoshanense and functional characterization of DhUGT44 mediating flavonoid 7-O-glycosylation and cold tolerance
UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) play essential roles in glycosylating plant specialized metabolites, thereby modulating their stability, solubility, and bioactivity to regulate growth, development, and environmental adaptation. Dendrobium huoshanense , a rare and endangered medicinal orchid endemic to China, is ren...
