  • Analysing Complex Triticeae Genomes – Concepts and Strategies Manuel Spannagl*, Mihaela M Martis, Matthias Pfeifer, Thomas Nussbaumer and Klaus FX Mayer*
    Spannagl et al. Plant Methods 2013, 9:35 http://www.plantmethods.com/content/9/1/35 PLANT METHODS REVIEW Open Access Analysing complex Triticeae genomes – concepts and strategies Manuel Spannagl*, Mihaela M Martis, Matthias Pfeifer, Thomas Nussbaumer and Klaus FX Mayer* Abstract The genomic sequences of many important Triticeae crop species are hard to assemble and analyse due to their large genome sizes, (in part) polyploid genomes and high repeat content. Recently, the draft genomes of barley and bread wheat were reported thanks to cost-efficient and fast NGS technologies. The genome of barley is estimated to be 5 Gb in size whereas the genome of bread wheat accounts for 17 Gb and harbours an allo-hexaploid genome. Direct assembly of the sequence reads and access to the gene content is hampered by the repeat content. As a consequence, novel strategies and data analysis concepts had to be developed to provide much-needed whole genome sequence surveys and access to the gene repertoires. Here we describe some analytical strategies that now enable structuring of massive NGS data generated and pave the way towards structured and ordered sequence data and gene order. Specifically we report on the GenomeZipper, a synteny driven approach to order and structure NGS survey sequences of grass genomes that lack a physical map. In addition, to access and analyse the gene repertoire of allo-hexaploid bread wheat from the raw sequence reads, a reference-guided approach was developed utilizing representative genes from rice, Brachypodium distachyon, sorghum and barley. Stringent sub-assembly on the reference genes prevented collapsing of homeologous wheat genes and allowed to estimate gene retention rate and determine gene family sizes.

  • Genome-Wide Analysis of Wheat Calcium Atpases and Potential Role of Selected Acas and Ecas in Calcium Stress Roohi Aslam1, Lorraine E
    Aslam et al. BMC Plant Biology (2017) 17:174 DOI 10.1186/s12870-017-1112-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide analysis of wheat calcium ATPases and potential role of selected ACAs and ECAs in calcium stress Roohi Aslam1, Lorraine E. Williams2, Muhammad Faraz Bhatti1 and Nasar Virk1* Abstract Background: P2- type calcium ATPases (ACAs-auto inhibited calcium ATPases and ECAs-endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPases) belong to the P- type ATPase family of active membrane transporters and are significantly involved in maintaining accurate levels of Ca2+,Mn2+ and Zn2+ in the cytosol as well as playing a very important role in stress signaling, stomatal opening and closing and pollen tube growth. Here we report the identification and possible role of some of these ATPases from wheat. Results: In this study, ACA and ECA sequences of six species (belonging to Poaceae) were retrieved from different databases and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. A high degree of evolutionary relatedness was observed among P2 sequences characterized in this study. Members of the respective groups from different plant species were observed to fall under the same clade. This pattern highlights the common ancestry of P2− type calcium ATPases. Furthermore, qRT-PCR was used to analyse the expression of selected ACAs and ECAs from Triticum aestivum (wheat) under calcium toxicity and calcium deficiency. The data indicated that expression of ECAsis enhanced under calcium stress, suggesting possible roles of these ATPases in calcium homeostasis in wheat. Similarly, the expression of ACAs was significantly different in plants grown under calcium stress as compared to plants grown under control conditions.

Abstract: The WOX family is a group of plant-specific transcription factors which regulate plant growth and development, cell division and differentiation. From the available genome sequence databases of nine Triticeae species, 199 putative WOX genes were identified. Most of the identified WOX genes were distributed on the chromosomes of homeologous groups 1 to 5 and originated via the orthologous evolution approach. Parts of WOX genes in Triticum aestivum were confirmed by the specific PCR markers using a set of Triticum. durum-T. aestivum genome D substitution lines. All of these identified WOX proteins could be grouped into three clades, similar to those in rice and Arabidopsis. WOX family members were conserved among these Triticeae plants; all of them contained the HOX DNA-binding homeodomain, and WUS clade members contained the characteristic WUS-box motif, while only WUS and WOX9 contained the EAR motif.

Box 32, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Abstract Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is industrial and a staple food crop of Ethiopians. Produced in most parts of Ethiopia and has existed in Ethiopia for thousand years. Annually, it occupies 500 thousand hectares in the country. However, the national average yield of durum wheat is low 2.2 t ha-1. The use of unimproved local cultivars and biotic and a biotic stresses are partially attributed to the low yield of the crop. Thus, the experiment was designed to develop high yielding, disease resistant and desirable quality improved varieties of durum wheat suitable for diverse agro-ecologies, farming systems and purposes. Eighteen durum wheat genotypes including four standard checks were laid out in randomized complete block design using four replications for two years (2013 and 2014) at eight locations. The combined data analysis across locations and over the years indicated that candidate variety “Utuba” (IDON-MD-2009_off/53/2009) performed better than the four standard checks and other testKeywords: genotypes.

Abstract Triticum urartu and Aegilops tauschii are the diploid progenitors of the hexaploid Triticum aestivum (AuAuBBDD), donors of the Au and D genome respectively. In this work we investigate the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) component of the genomes of these two wild wheat relatives. Sixty-eight RNA-seq libraries generated from several organs and conditions were retrieved from public databases. We annotated and characterized 14,515 T. urartu and 20,908 Ae. tauschii bona- fide lncRNA transcripts that show features similar to those of other plant and animal counterparts. Thousands of lncRNAs were found significantly modulated in different organs and exhibited organ specific expression, with a predominant accumulation in the spike, fostering the hypothesis of their crucial role in reproductive organs.

Correspondence [email protected] (F.L.); [email protected] (C.Y.) Abstract Reticulate evolution through the interchanging of genetic components across organisms can impact significantly on the fitness and adaptation of species. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum subsp. aestivum) is one of the most important crops in the world. Allopolyploid speciation, frequent hybridization, extensive introgression, and occasional horizontal gene transfer (HGT) have been shaping a typical paradigm of reticulate evolution in bread wheat and its wild relatives, which is likely to have a substantial influence on phenotypic traits and environmental adaptability of bread wheat. In this review, we outlined the evolutionary history of bread wheat and its wild relatives with a highlight on the interspecific hybridization events, demonstrating the reticulate relationship between species/subspecies in the genera Triticum and Aegilops. Furthermore, we discussed the genetic mechanisms and evolutionary significance underlying the introgression of bread wheat and its wild relatives. An in-depth understanding of the evolutionary process of Triticum species should be beneficial to future genetic study and breeding of bread wheat.

They play important roles in responses to biotic/abiotic stresses, heavy-metal homeostasis, and detoxification. However, research on the distribution, diversification, and function of HIPPs in Triticeae species is limited. In this study, a total of 278 HIPPs were identified from a database from five Triticeae species, and 13 were cloned from Haynaldia villosa. These genes were classified into five groups by phylogenetic analysis. Most HIPPs had one HMA domain, while 51 from Clade I had two, and all HIPPs had good collinear relationships between species or subgenomes.
