UGTs through the genus Brassica
Introduction
The genus Brassica
The Brassica genome has undergone more polyploidy than Arabidopsis thaliana.
Duplication Events
The Brassica genome has undergone two hexaploidy and two tetraploidy events since the eudicot paleohexaploidy event which gave rise to Citis, Prunus, Arabidopsis, and Brassica.

UGT functions
Uridine diphosphate (UDP) glycosyltransferases (UGTs) mediate transfer of glycosyl residues from activated nucleotide sugars to acceptor molecules (Higher plant glycosyltransferases).
