Global transgenerational gene expression dynamics in two newly synthesized allohexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) lines.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alteration in gene expression resulting from allopolyploidization is a prominent feature in plants, but its spectrum and extent are not fully known. Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) was formed via allohexaploidization about 10,000 years ago, and became the most important crop plant. To gain further insights into the genome-wide transcriptional dynamics associated with the onset of common wheat...
