Title

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Tomato MBGT activity was assigned to SlMBGT1 in GT47A-III.
- Observation AtMBGT1 and SlMBGT1 occur in different GT47A subclades.
- Association Phylogenetic and structural analyses suggested conserved MBGTs in an asterid-specific GT47A-III subclade.
- Observation The authors inferred convergent acquisition of MBGT activity among asterids and rosids.
- Mechanism Independent acquisition of MBGT activity was interpreted to imply adaptive value for beta-GGM galactosylation.
