The coordinated expression of highly related homoeologous genes in polyploid species underlies the phenotypes many world's major crops. Here we combine extensive gene datasets to produce a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis homoeolog patterns hexaploid bread wheat. Bias varies between tissues, with ~30% wheat homoeologs showing nonbalanced expression. We found asymmetries along chromosomes, largest inter-tissue, inter-cultivar, and coding sequence variation, most often located...

Significance A precise regulation of flowering time is critical for plant reproductive success and cereal crops to maximize grain production. In wheat, barley, other temperate cereals, vernalization genes play an important role in the acceleration development after long periods low temperatures during winter (vernalization). this study, we identified VERNALIZATION 4 ( VRN-D4 ), a gene that was spring growth habit ancient wheats from South Asia. We show mutations regulatory regions are shared...

microRNAs (miRNAs) are tiny ribo-regulatory molecules involved in various essential pathways for persistence of cellular life, such as development, environmental adaptation and stress response. In recent years, miRNAs have become a major focus molecular biology because their functional diagnostic importance. This immense interest on miRNA research has resulted the development many specific software pipelines identification targets, which is key step elucidation miRNA-modulated gene...

As the post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, microRNAs or miRNAs comprise an integral part understanding how genomes function. Although have been a major focus recent efforts, miRNA research is still in its infancy most plant species. Aegilops tauschii, D genome progenitor bread wheat, wild diploid grass exhibiting remarkable population diversity. Due to direct ancestry and diverse pool, A. tauschii promising source for wheat improvement. In this study, total 87 families,...

Summary Flow cytometric sorting of individual chromosomes and chromosome‐based sequencing reduces the complexity large, repetitive Triticeae genomes. We flow‐sorted chromosome 5D Aegilops tauschii , D genome donor bread wheat sequenced it by Roche 454 GS FLX platform to approximately 2.2x coverage. Repetitive sequences represent 81.09% survey this chromosome, Class I retroelements are prominent type, with a particular abundance LTR/Gypsy superfamily. Nonrepetitive were assembled cover 17.76%...

The ~17 Gb hexaploid bread wheat genome is a high priority and major technical challenge for genomic studies. In particular, the D sub-genome relatively lacking in genetic diversity, making it both difficult to map genetically, target introgression of agriculturally useful traits. Elucidating its sequence structure will therefore facilitate breeding crop improvement.We generated shotgun sequences from each arm flow-sorted Triticum aestivum chromosome 5D using 454 FLX Titanium technology,...

Summary Wild emmer wheat ( Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides ) is the progenitor of wheat. We performed chromosome‐based survey sequencing 14 chromosomes, examining repetitive sequences, protein‐coding genes, mi RNA /target pairs and tRNA as well syntenic relationships with related grasses. found considerable differences in content distribution sequences between A B subgenomes. The gene contents individual chromosomes varied widely, not necessarily correlating chromosome size. catalogued...

Wild emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides is the wild relative of turgidum, progenitor durum and bread maintains a rich allelic diversity among its populations. The lack adequate genetic genomic resources, however, restricts exploitation in wheat improvement. Here, we report next-generation sequencing flow-sorted chromosome 5B T. to shed light into genome structure, function organization by exploring repetitive elements, protein-encoding genes putative microRNA tRNA coding...

Background Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide and its production faces pressing challenges, solution which demands genome information. However, large, highly repetitive hexaploid has been considered intractable to standard sequencing approaches. Therefore International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) proposes map sequence on a chromosome-by-chromosome basis. Methodology/Principal Findings We have constructed physical long arm bread...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a diverse class of that typically longer than 200 nucleotides but lack coding potentials. Advances in deep sequencing technologies enabled better exploration this type transcripts. The poor sequence conservation, however, complicates the identification and annotation lncRNAs at large scale. Wheat is among leading food staples worldwide whose production threatened by both biotic abiotic stressors. Here, we identified putative from durum wheat varieties differ...
