    Recently, the genetic breeding innovation team of the Institute of Economics of Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences published an online title entitled "Genome-wide characterization of the UDP-glycosyltransferase" in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules (CAS Region 1 Journal, 2022 IF=8.
    02).
    Gene Family reveals their potential roles in leaf senescence in cotton"
    .
     
    Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are responsible for catalyzing the glycosylation of plant molecules and are essential
    for plant growth and development.
    Glycosyltransferases, which normally use uracil nucleoside diphosphate-sugar as a sugar donor, are classified as UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs
    ).
    The study of the UDP-glycosyltransferase family in cotton leaf aging has not been reported
    .
     
    Bioinformatics methods identified 152, 157 and 261 UGTs genes from Asian cotton, Redmond cotton and terrestrial cotton
    , respectively.
    Phylogenetic analysis divided UGTs genes into 15 groups and performed analysis
    of gene structure, collinearity, selective pressure, protein structure, and cis-acting elements.
     
    The expression pattern
    of GHUGT gene in terrestrial cotton was analyzed using aging transcriptome data.
    The real-time PCR results showed that the 10 GHUGTs screened may regulate leaf aging
    by ABA and JA.
    Further functional analysis found that GHUGT116 gene was silenced to delay dark-induced leaf senescence
    .
    This study provides a theoretical basis for in-depth exploration of the role of UDP-glycosyltransferase family in cotton leaf aging, and provides candidate genes
    for the creation of new cotton germplasm in the future.
     
    This research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (31901422) and the Agricultural Seed Project of Shandong Province (2020LZGC002
    ).
    Chen Yizhen, assistant researcher of the Institute of Economic Studies, is the first author of the paper, researcher Liu Zhanji is the corresponding author, and Fu Mingchuan, Li Hao, Wang Liguo and Liu Renzhong also participated in this work
