Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence elimination and cytosine methylation are rapid and reproducible responses of the genome to wide hybridization and allopolyploidy in wheat
TL;DR: It is found that sequence elimination is one of the major and immediate responses of the wheat genome to wide hybridization or allopolyploidy, that it affects a large fraction of the genome, and that it is reproducible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional activation of retrotransposons alters the expression of adjacent genes in wheat.
TL;DR: It is reported that activation of these antisense or sense transcripts is associated with silencing or activation of the corresponding genes, respectively, which support the view of transposons as potential controlling elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wild emmer genome architecture and diversity elucidate wheat evolution and domestication

TL;DR: A 10.1-gigabase assembly of the 14 chromosomes of wild tetraploid wheat, as well as analyses of gene content, genome architecture, and genetic diversity reveal genomic regions bearing the signature of selection under domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene Loss, Silencing and Activation in a Newly Synthesized Wheat Allotetraploid
TL;DR: Findings show that wide hybridization and chromosome doubling affect gene expression via genetic and epigenetic alterations immediately upon allopolyploid formation and contribute to the genetic diploidization of newly formed allopoly Ploidy in wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and Epigenetic Dynamics of a Retrotransposon After Allopolyploidization of Wheat
TL;DR: It is found that Veju insertion sites underwent massive methylation changes in the first four generations of a newly formed wheat allohexaploid, and the methylation state of Veju long terminal repeats (LTRs) might be correlated with the deletion and/or insertion of the TE.
