Journal ArticleDOI
Homoeolog-specific transcriptional bias in allopolyploid wheat
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the establishment of interactions between the diverged regulatory networks in allopolyploids is accompanied by massive homoeolog-specific up- and down-regulation of gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2NS Translocation from Aegilops ventricosa Confers Resistance to the Triticum Pathotype of Magnaporthe oryzae.
Christian D. Cruz,Gary L. Peterson,William W. Bockus,Prasanna Kankanala,Jorge Dubcovsky,Katherine W. Jordan,Eduard Akhunov,Forrest Chumley,F.D. Baldelomar,Barbara Valent +9 more
TL;DR: Results from foliar inoculations suggest that the resistance to head infection that is imparted by the 2NS translocation does not confer resistance to foliar disease, but when near-isogenic lines (NILs) with and without 2NS were planted in the field, there was strong evidence that 2NS conferred resistance toHead blast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the VERNALIZATION 4 gene reveals the origin of spring growth habit in ancient wheats from South Asia.
Nestor Kippes,Juan M. Debernardi,Hans A. Vasquez-Gross,Bala Ani Akpinar,Hikmet Budak,Kenji Kato,Shiaoman Chao,Eduard Akhunov,Jorge Dubcovsky,Jorge Dubcovsky +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mutations in regulatory regions of VRN-D4 are shared with otherVRN-A1 alleles and can be used to modulate the vernalization response and provide breeders new tools to engineer wheat varieties better adapted to different or changing environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Analysis of Syntenic Genes in Grass Genomes Reveals Accelerated Rates of Gene Structure and Coding Sequence Evolution in Polyploid Wheat
Eduard Akhunov,Sunish K. Sehgal,Hanquan Liang,Shichen Wang,Alina Akhunova,Gaganpreet Kaur,Wanlong Li,Kerrie Forrest,Deven R. See,Hana Šimková,Yaqin Ma,Matthew J. Hayden,Ming-Cheng Luo,Justin D. Faris,Jaroslav Dolezel,Bikram S. Gill +15 more
TL;DR: The results are consistent with the accelerated accumulation of AS isoforms, nonsynonymous mutations, and gene structure rearrangements in the wheat lineage, likely due to genetic redundancy created by WGDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene editing and mutagenesis reveal inter-cultivar differences and additivity in the contribution of TaGW2 homoeologues to grain size and weight in wheat.
Wei Wang,James Simmonds,Qianli Pan,Dwight Davidson,Fei He,Abdulhamit Battal,Abdulhamit Battal,Alina Akhunova,Harold N. Trick,Cristobal Uauy,Eduard Akhunov +10 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that GS/TGW variation in wheat can be modulated by the dosage of homoeologous genes with inter-cultivar differences in the magnitude of the individual homoeologue effects.
