Unlabelled: Pectin is one of the most important components of the plant cell wall. Galacturonosyltransferase-like (GATL) is an important enzyme involved in forming pectin in . In this study, 12 genes were identified and characterized based on the genome using bioinformatics methods.

The ability of PAE to regulate the degree of acetylation of pectin, an important polysaccharide in the cell wall, affects the structure of plant cell wall. In this study, ten genes were identified and characterized in genome using bioinformatics methods, and the physiochemical properties such as molecular weight, isoelectric points, and hydrophilicity, as well as the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein were predicted.

Previous studies on UGDH have primarily focused on the biosynthesis of cell wall polysaccharides, while few studies have focused on their regulation by exogenous nitrogen. In the present study, four genes encoding PtUGDH proteins were analyzed by bioinformatics methods.

In this study, ten genes encoding putative BXL proteins were identified in the genome by bioinformatics methods. In the phylogenetic analysis, the PtBXLs formed two subfamilies.
