BackgroundTartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an edible cereal crop whose sprouts have been marketed and commercialized for their higher levels of anti-oxidants, including rutin and anthocyanin. UDP-glucose flavonoid glycosyltransferases (UFGTs) play an important role in the biosynthesis of flavonoids in plants. So far, few studies are available on UFGT genes that may play a role in tartary buckwheat flavonoids biosynthesis. Here, we report on the identification and functional characterization of seven UFGTs from tartary buckwheat that are potentially involved in flavonoid biosynthesis (and have varying effects on plant growth and development when overexpressed inArabidopsis thaliana.)ResultsPhylogenetic analysis indicated that the potential function of the seven FtUFGT proteins, FtUFGT6, FtUFGT7, FtUFGT8, FtUFGT9, FtUFGT15, FtUFGT40, and FtUFGT41, could be divided into threeArabidopsis thalianafunctional subgroups that are involved in flavonoid biosynthesis of and anthocyanin accumulation. A significant positive correlation betweenFtUFGT8andFtUFGT15expression and anthocyanin accumulation capacity was observed in the tartary buckwheat seedlings after cold stress. Overexpression inArabidopsis thalianashowed thatFtUFGT8,FtUFGT15, andFtUFGT41significantly increased the anthocyanin content in transgenic plants. Unexpectedly, overexpression ofFtUFGT6,while not leading to enhanced anthocyanin accumulation,significantly enhanced the growth yield of transgenic plants. When wild-type plants have only cotyledons, most of the transgenic plants ofFtUFGT6had grown true leaves. Moreover, the growth speed of theoxFtUFGT6transgenic plant root was also significantly faster than that of the wild type. At later growth,FtUFGT6transgenic plants showed larger leaves, earlier twitching times and more tillers than wild type, whereasFtUFGT15showed opposite results.ConclusionsSevenFtUFGTswere isolated from tartary buckwheat.FtUFGT8,FtUFGT15, andFtUFGT41can significantly increase the accumulation of total anthocyanins in transgenic plants. Furthermore, overexpression ofFtUFGT6increased the overall yield ofArabidopsistransgenic plants at all growth stages. However,FtUFGT15shows the opposite trend at later growth stage and delays the growth speed of plants. These results suggested that the biological function ofFtUFGTgenes in tartary buckwheat is diverse.
