Comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses of Family-1 UDP glycosyltransferase in three Brassica species and Arabidopsis indicates stress-responsive regulation.


ABSTRACT: In plants, UGTs (UDP-glycosyltransferases) glycosylate various phytohormones and metabolites in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Little is known about stress-responsive glycosyltransferases in plants. Therefore, it is important to understand the genomic and transcriptomic portfolio of plants with regard to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we identified 140, 154, and 251 putative UGTs in Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea, and Brassica napus, respectively, and clustered them into 14 major phylogenetic groups (A-N). Fourteen major KEGG pathways and 24 biological processes were associated with the UGTs, highlighting them as unique modulators against environmental stimuli. Putative UGTs from B. rapa and B. oleracea showed a negative selection pressure and biased gene fractionation pattern during their evolution. Polyploidization increased the intron proportion and number of UGT-containing introns among Brassica. The putative UGTs were preferentially expressed in developing tissues and at the senescence stage. Differential expression of up- and down-regulated UGTs in response to phytohormone treatments, pathogen responsiveness and abiotic stresses, inferred from microarray and RNA-Seq data in Arabidopsis and Brassica broaden the glycosylation impact at the molecular level. This study identifies unique candidate UGTs for the manipulation of biotic and abiotic stress pathways in Brassica and Arabidopsis.
