Plant UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) are widespread in nature and play key roles in the modification of plant natural products, which exhibit great pharmaceutical and ecological significance. Here we present a comprehensive plant UGTs resource, which primarily includes a plant UGTs database (pUGTdb) containing 285,293 UGT genes (about 23, 0000 complete UGTs) annotated from 2858 plants, 90 UGT families, 381 plant UGTs with characterized functions. We also developed an effective UGT gene annotation tool, a fast structure prediction platform based on the optimized AlphaFold, and web tools for UGTs virtual screening and sugar donor prediction of unknown UGTs.
