Comprehensive genome-wide identification and functional analysis of the GT8 gene family in Eucalyptus Grandis
This study provides the first genome-wide functional annotation of the GT8 family in E. grandis, revealing subfamily-specific roles in cell wall polymer synthesis. The enrichment of stress- and hormone-responsive promoter elements implies regulatory complexity in cell wall remodeling. Our findings establish a foundation for targeted manipulation of xylan and pectin biosynthesis in woody plants, with potential applications in biomass engineering.
