Phylogenetic relationships between the C, U, N, and M genomes of Aegilops species and the genomes of common wheat and other related species were investigated by using three types of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) genes at Glu-3 loci. A total of 20 LMW-GS genes from Aegilops and Triticum species were isolated, including 11 LMW-m type and 9 LMW-i type genes. Particularly, four LMW-m type and three LMW-i type subunits encoded by the genes on the C, N, and U genomes possessed an extra cysteine residue at conserved positions, which could provide useful information for understanding phylogenetic relationships among Aegilops and Triticum genomes. Phylogenetic trees constructed by using either LMW-i or the combination of LMW-m and LMW-s, as well as analysis of all the three types of LMW-GS genes together, demonstrated that the C and U genomes were closely related to the A genome, whereas the N and M genomes were closely related to the D genome. Our results support previous findings that the A genome was derived from Triticum uratu, the B genome was from Aegilops speltoides, and the D genome was from Aegilops tauschii. In addition, phylogenetic relationships among different genomes analysed in this study support the concept that Aegilops is not monophyletic.

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and multicolor genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) are useful tools to precisely characterize genetic stocks derived from crosses of wheat (Triticum aestivum) with Thinopyrum intermedium and Thinopyrum elongatum. The wheat × Th. intermedium derived stocks designated Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 were initially screened by multicolor GISH using Aegilops speltoides genomic DNA for blocking and various combinations of genomic DNA from Th. intermedium, Triticum urartu, and Aegilops tauschii for probes. The probing (GISH) results indicated that lines Z1 and Z3 were alien disomic addition lines with chromosome numbers of 2n = 44. Z2 was a substitution line in which chromosome 2D was substituted by a pair of Th. intermedium chromosomes; this was confirmed by RFLP and muticolour GISH. Z4 (2n = 44) contained two pairs of wheat – Th. intermedium translocated chromosomes; one pair involved A-genome chromosomes, the other involved D- and A-genome chromosomes. Z5 (2n = 44) contained one pair of wheat – Th. intermedium translocated chromosomes involving the D- and A-genome chromosomes of wheat. Z6 (2n = 44) contained one pair of chromosomes derived from Th. intermedium plus another pair of translocated chromosomes involving B-genome chromosomes of wheat. Line Z2 was of special interest because it has some resistance to infection by Fusarium graminearum.Key words: wheat, Thinopyrum intermedium, addition, substitution, and translocation lines, GISH, multicolor GISH, RFLP.

Genome Phylogeny

Twelve genes encoding two closely related subtypes (ST1.1a and ST1.1b) of a sulphate transporter have been identified in the diploid wheats Aegilops tauschii, Triticum urartu, and Aegilops speltoides, as well as the hexaploid Triticum aestivum. Based on phylogenetic comparisons with other plant sulphate transporters, the ST1.1a and 1.1b subtypes aligned with group 1 of the plant sulphate transporter gene family. The exon–intron structure was conserved within the ST1.1a or ST1.1b genes; however, substantial variability in intron sequences existed between the two types. The high overall sequence similarity indicated that ST1.1b represented a duplication of the ST1.1a gene, which must have occurred before the evolution of the ancestral diploid wheat progenitor. In contrast with the close relationship of the T. urartu and Ae. tauschii sequences to the corresponding A and D genome sequences of T. aestivum, the divergence between the Ae. speltoides sequences and the B genome sequences suggested that the B genome ST1.1a gene has been modified by recombination. Transcript analysis revealed predominant expression of the ST1.1a type and an influence of sulphur availability on the level of expression.Key words: genome, phylogeny, progenitor, sulphate transport, wheat.

Layer Chromatography

Thin-layer chromatography was used to assess the phylogenetic affinities in Triticinae. Leaf phenolics of Aegilops speltoides, Ae. bicornis, Ae. squarrosa, Triticum monococcum, T. dicoccoides, T. dicoccum and T. aestivum ssp. spelta were screened on cellulose coated plates. The chromatographic data were analysed statistically and a similarity index (biochemical distance) calculated. This index corresponded most closely with conventional concepts of affinities. T. dicoccoides and T. dicoccum were found to be closer to Ae. bicornis than to Ae. speltoides which suggests that Ae. bicornis is more probably the B genome donor. The contribution of the D genome by Ae. squarrosa was further confirmed. Correlation between the two tetraploids T. dicoccoides and T. dicoccum as well as with T. aestivum was high. Among the Aegilops species studied, Ae. speltoides most closely resembled T. monococcum. Low affinity in terms of the biochemical distance of T. monococcum with emmer wheats and T. aestivum throws doubt upon its direct contribution of the A genome.

Abstract Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) is one of the world's most important crop plants and displays a very low level of intraspecific polymorphism. We report the development of highly polymorphic microsatellite markers using procedures optimized for the large wheat genome. The isolation of microsatellite-containing clones from hypomethylated regions of the wheat genome increased the proportion of useful markers almost twofold. The majority (80%) of primer sets developed are genome-specific and detect only a single locus in one of the three genomes of bread wheat (A, B, or D). Only 20% of the markers detect more than one locus. A total of 279 loci amplified by 230 primer sets were placed onto a genetic framework map composed of RFLPs previously mapped in the reference population of the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative (ITMI) Opata 85 × W7984. Sixty-five microsatellites were mapped at a LOD >2.5, and 214 microsatellites were assigned to the most likely intervals. Ninety-three loci were mapped to the A genome, 115 to the B genome, and 71 to the D genome. The markers are randomly distributed along the linkage map, with clustering in several centromeric regions.

Abstract Background Threshability, rachis fragility and spike shape are critical traits for the domestication and evolution of wheat, determining the crop yield and efficiency of the harvest. Spelt factor gene Q controls a wide range of domestication-related traits in polyploid wheats, including those mentioned above. The main goal of the present study was to characterise the Q gene for uninvestigated accessions of wheats, including four endemics, and Aegilops accessions, and to analyze the species evolution based on differences in Q gene sequences. Results We have studied the spike morphology for 15 accessions of wheat species, including four endemics, namely Triticum macha, T. tibetanum, T. aestivum ssp. petropavlovskyi and T. spelta ssp. yunnanense, and 24 Aegilops accessions, which are donors of B and D genomes for polyploid wheat. The Q-5A, q-5D and q-5S genes were investigated, and a novel allele of the Q-5A gene was found in accessions of T. tibetanum (KU510 and KU515). This allele was similar to the Q allele of T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring but had an insertion 161 bp in length within exon 5. This insertion led to a frameshift and premature stop codon formation. Thus, the T. tibetanum have spelt spikes, which is probably determined by the gene Tg, rather than Q. We determined the variability within the q-5D genes among hexaploid wheat and their D genome donor Aegilops tauschii. Moreover, we studied the accessions C21–5129, KU-2074, and K-1100 of Ae. tauschii ssp. strangulata, which could be involved in the origin of hexaploid wheats. Conclusions The variability and phylogenetic relationships of the Q gene sequences studied allowed us to clarify the relationships between species of the genus Triticum and to predict the donor of the D genome among the Ae. tauschii accessions. Ae. tauschii ssp. strangulata accessions C21–5129, KU-2074 and K-1100 are the most interesting among the analysed accessions, since their partial sequence of q-5D is identical to the q-5D of T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring. This result indicates that the donor is Ae. tauschii ssp. strangulata but not Ae. tauschii ssp. tauschii. Our analysis allowed us to clarify the phylogenetic relationships in the genus Triticum.

Genome Donors

For many years each of the species Aegilops bicornis, Aegilops longissima, Aegilops searsii, Aegilops sharonensis, Aegilops speltoides, and Triticum urartu has been implicated as the donor of the B genome in the polyploid wheats. Biochemical and cytological data have revealed that T. urartu possesses a genome similar to that of T. monococcum, and therefore it may be the source of the A genome in T. turgidum and T. aestivum. This revelation therefore excludes T. urartu from the list of putative B-genome donors. To determine which of the remaining species is the source of the B chromosome set, the amino acid sequences of their purothionins were compared with that of the α1 purothionin coded for by the Pur-1B gene on chromosome 1 in the B genome of T. turgidum and T. aestivum. The residue sequences of this protein from Ae. bicornis, Ae. longissima, Ae. searsii, Ae. sharonensis, and Ae. speltoides differed by 1, 6, 1, 1, and 2 amino acid substitutions, respectively, from the α1 protein. These results suggest that either Ae. bicornis, Ae. searsii, or Ae. sharonensis was the most likely donor of the B genome. If the B genome in the polyploid wheats is monophyletic in origin, the collective findings of this and other investigations indicate that Ae. searsii is the most likely donor. The possibility that the B genome in the polyploid wheats could have a polyphyletic origin is also discussed.Key words: polyploid wheats, putative B-genome donors, purothionins, monophyletic, polyphyletic.

The genus Arachis (Fabaceae), which originated in South America, consists of 80 species. Based on morphological traits and cross-compatibility among the species, the genus is divided into nine taxonomic sections. Arachis is the largest section including the economically valuable cultivated peanut (A. hypogaea). Seven genic sequences were utilized to better understand the phylogenetic relationships between species of genus Arachis. Our study displayed four clades of species of Arachis. Arachis triseminata was genetically isolated from all other species of Arachis studied, and it formed the basal clade with A. retusa and A. dardani from the most ancient sections Extranervosae and Heteranthae, respectively. Species of section Arachis formed a separated single clade from all other species, within which species having B and D genome clustered in one subgroup and three species characterized with an A genome grouped together in another subgroup. A divergent clade including species from five sections was sister to the clade of section Arachis. Between the sister clades and the basal clade there was a clade containing species from the more advanced sections. Phylogenetic relationships of all the species of Arachis using multiple genic sequences were similar to the phylogenies produced with single-copy genes.

AbstractBread wheat and durum wheat derive from an intricate evolutionary history of three genomes, namely A, B and D, present in both extent diploid and polyploid species. Despite its importance for wheat research, no consensus on the phylogeny of the wheat clade has emerged so far, possibly because of hybridizations and gene flows that make phylogeny reconstruction challenging. Recently, it has been proposed that the D genome originated from an ancient hybridization event between the A and B genomes1. However, the study only relied on four diploid wheat relatives when 13 species are accessible. Using transcriptome data from all diploid species and a new methodological approach, we provide the first comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of this group. Our analysis reveals that most species belong to the D-genome lineage and descend from the previously detected hybridization event, but with a more complex scenario and with a different parent than previously thought. If we confirmed that one parent was the A genome, we found that the second was not the B genome but the ancestor of Aegilops mutica (T genome), an overlooked wild species. We also unravel evidence of other massive gene flow events that could explain long-standing controversies in the classification of wheat relatives. We anticipate that these results will strongly affect future wheat research by providing a robust evolutionary framework and refocusing interest on understudied species. The new method we proposed should also be pivotal for further methodological developments to reconstruct species relationship with multiple hybridizations.

Novel fluorescent sequence-related amplified polymorphism (FSRAP) markers were developed based on the SRAP molecular marker. Then, the FSRAP markers were used to construct the genetic map of a wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) recombinant inbred line population derived from a Chuanmai 42?Chuannong 16 cross. Reproducibility and polymorphism tests indicated that the FSRAP markers have repeatability and better reflect the polymorphism of wheat varieties compared with SRAP markers. A total of 430 polymorphic loci between Chuanmai 42 and Chuannong 16 were detected with 189 FSRAP primer combinations. A total of 281 FSARP markers and 39 SSR markers re classified into 20 linkage groups. The maps spanned a total length of 2499.3cM with an average distance of 7.81cM between markers. A total of 201 markers were mapped on the B genome and covered a distance of 1013cM. On the A genome, 84 markers were mapped and covered a distance of 849.6cM. On the D genome, however, only 35 markers were mapped and covered a distance of 636.7cM. No FSRAP markers were distributed on the 7D chromosome. The results of the present study revealed that the novel FSRAP markers can be used to generate dense, uniform genetic maps of wheat.
