Introduction
The genus Brassica
The Brassica genome has undergone more polyploidy than Arabidopsis thaliana.
Duplication Events
The Brassica genome has undergone two tetraploidy and two hexaploidy events, one more than Arabidopsis, since the eudicot paleohexaploidy event which gave rise to Vitis, Prunus, Arabidopsis, and Brassica.
Triangle of U
The Triangle of U describes the relationship between six species of Brassica: Brassica rapa, Brassica nigra, Brassica oleracea, Brassica juncea, "Brassica carinata, and Brassica napus.
UGT Gene Family
UGT functions
Uridine diphosphate (UDP) glycosyltransferases (UGTs) mediate transfer of glycosyl residues from activated nucleotide sugars to acceptor molecules (Higher plant glycosyltransferases).
