Encodes a protein with sinapic acid:UDP-glucose glucosyltransferase activity. Mutants defective in this gene are hyper-fluorescent (which accumulate in their trichomes a compound that is likely to be 3',5'-dimethoxynaringenin chalcone or sinapoyltriacetic acid lactone, potential products of the concerted action of 4-coumarate CoA ligase and chalcone synthase on sinapic acid).
