TL;DR: A novel bZIP family transcription factor TubZIP28 was found to be preferentially expressed in the endosperm throughout grain-filling stages in Triticum urartu, the A genome donor of common wheat.

TL;DR: Both in vitro and in vivo assays showed that TuSPR bound to the cis‐element 5′‐CANNTG‐3′ distributed in SSP gene promoters and suppressed the transcription, which led to the knock‐down of TaSPR in common wheat and increases in the total SSPs.

TL;DR: In this article, the R2R3 MYB transcription factor TuODORANT1 from Triticum urartu was found to be preferentially expressed in the developing endosperm during grain filling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first genome-wide identification of transcriptional regulators of seed storage protein (SSP) genes in wheat has been achieved by co-expression analysis, where a total of 71 transcription factors from 23 families were found to be coexpressed with SSP genes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the silencing of Glu-1Ay in tetraploid and hexaploid wheat was attributed to the new PTCs and WIS 2-1A insertion in wild tetraPLoid wheat, and most silenced alleles were delivered to the cultivated tetraPloid andhexaploids wheat, providing a clear evolutionary history of the Glu.1Ay gene in the wheat polyploidization and domestication processes.
