Abstract: O- and C-glycoside flavonoids are important metabolites in Fortunella crassifolia plants. Glycosylation of flavonoids is catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferase(UGT). In this study,we determined the flavonoid glycosides in kumquat fruits by using UPLC G2-S QTOF. A total of 11 flavonoid glycosides were detected,including C-glucoside,O-neohesperidoside,and C-neohesperidoside flavonoids. Subsequently,based on transcriptomes,we isolated 49 UGT genes with high expression levels in kumquat fruits. Further phylogenetic analysis showed that 13 UGTs of them might be involved in the glycosylation process of flavonoids. One UGT encoding C-glucosyltransferase catalyzed the C-glucosylation,9 UGTs encoding 7-O-glucosyltransferase were involved in the 7-O-glucosylation,and 3 UGTs encoding 1,2-rhamnosyltransferase,can perform rhamnosylation of flavonoids.
