TaUGT6, a Novel UDP-Glycosyltransferase Gene Enhances the Resistance to FHB and DON Accumulation in Wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating wheat disease, results in loss of yield and production of mycotoxins including deoxynivalenol (DON) in infected grains. DON is harmful to human and animal health and facilitates the spread of FHB symptoms.

Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4500-4527, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.

Structure of the UDP-Glucosyltransferase GtfB That Modifies the Heptapeptide Aglycone in the Biosynthesis of Vancomycin Group Antibiotics [PDF]

Structure, 2001
Members of the vancomycin group of glycopeptide antibiotics have an oxidatively crosslinked heptapeptide scaffold decorated at the hydroxyl groups of 4-OH-Phegly4 or beta-OH-Tyr6 with mono- (residue 6) or disaccharides (residue 4). The disaccharide in vancomycin itself is L-vancosamine-1,2-glucose, and in chloroeremomycin it is L-4-epi-vancosamine-1,2 ...

Development and characterization of near‐isogenic lines for quantitative trait locus qDT.3B.1 underlying drought tolerance in wheat

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Drought is a critical challenge to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. The quantitative complexity of drought tolerance makes breeding for this trait difficult. Developing near‐isogenic lines (NILs) targeting quantitative trait locus (QTL) for 1000‐grain weight (TGW) under drought stress can effectively identify key mechanisms and genes.

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana expressing a barley UDP-glucosyltransferase exhibit resistance to the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2012
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a devastating disease of small grain cereal crops. FHB causes yield reductions and contamination of grain with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). DON inhibits protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells and acts as a virulence factor during fungal pathogenesis, therefore ...

UDP-xylose and peroxide inhibited UGDH but not diaphorase staining activity in cultured monolayer FLS.

, 2022
Cells were from a 23-year old male donor (passage 4). FLS stained for UGDH (A: bright field; B: phase contrast) or UGDH with UDP-xylose (C: bright field; D: phase contrast), diaphorase (E), or diaphorase with UDP-xylose (F).

Comparative genomic and biochemical analyses identify a collagen galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase from Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus

Scientific Reports, 2022
Humans and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus share numerous homologous genes, including collagens and collagen-modifying enzymes. To explore this homology, we performed a genome-wide comparison between human and mimivirus using DELTA-BLAST (Domain ...

Identification of resistance sources and genomic regions regulating spot blotch resistance in Asian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) via genome‐wide association study

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

The Ecdysteroid UDP-Glucosyltransferase Gene Promoter from Autographa californica Multicapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2004
Abstract The ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt) gene promoter fragments of different lengths were generated from the genomic DNA of the Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) by PCR. After being purified and enzymatic digestion, they were cloned into the pGEM-3Z vector for construction of reporter ...

Tapinarof as a Therapeutic Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor‐Modulating Agent in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 867-879, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory dermatitis underpinned by Type 2 inflammation driven by cytokines such as IL‐4 and IL‐13. It is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, Th2 immune deviation, and pruritus. While biologics and oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors demonstrate high therapeutic efficacy by targeting cytokines that ...
