In silico analysis of glycosyltransferase 2 family genes in duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) and its role in salt stress tolerance

Plant glycosyltransferase 2 (GT2) family genes are involved in plant abiotic stress tolerance. However, the roles of GT2 genes in the abiotic resistance in freshwater plants are largely unknown. We identified seven GT2 genes in duckweed, remarkably more than those in the genomes of Arabidopsis thali...
