Although allopolyploid species are common among natural and crop species, it is not easy
to distinguish duplicated genes, known as homeologs, during their genomic analysis. Yet …

We analyzed the events that affect gene structure and expression in the early stages of
allopolyploidy in wheat. The transcriptome response was studied by analyzing 3072 …

Background Hexaploid wheat is one of the most important cereal crops for human nutrition.
Molecular understanding of the biology of the developing grain will assist the improvement …

Allopolyploidy greatly expands the range of possible regulatory interactions among
functionally redundant homoeologous genes. However, connection between the emerging …

Polyploidization is a fundamental process in plant evolution. One of the biggest challenges
faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, particularly discriminating between multiple related …

Wheat grain development after anthesis is an important biological process, in which major
components of seeds are synthesised, and these components are further required for …

Polyploidy has played a central role in plant genome evolution and in the formation of new
species such as tetraploid pasta wheat and hexaploid bread wheat. Until recently, the high …

In the past few years we have analysed alterations in genome structure and expression that
occur in wheat upon allopolyploidization. Our major findings in natural and synthetic …

Bread wheat is an allohexaploid species originating from two successive and recent rounds
of hybridization between three diploid species that were very similar in terms of chromosome …

Major crops are all survivors of domestication bottlenecks. Studies have focused on the
genetic loci related to the domestication syndrome, while the contribution of ancient …
