Systematic analysis of the UDP-glucosyltransferase family: discovery of a member involved in rutin biosynthesis in Solanum melongena

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is an economically important crop and rich in various nutrients, among which rutin that has positive effects on human health is found in eggplant. Glycosylation mediated by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) is a key step in rutin biosynthesis. However, the UGT gene has not...
