Abstract Background As the inflorescence of wheat, spike architecture largely determines grain productivity. Dissecting genetic basis for morphology wheat can contribute towards designation ideal to improve production. Results In this study, we characterized an EMS-induced mutant dense spike1 (ds1) from Nongda3753 (ND3753) with a dense and reduced plant height. Using bulked segregant analysis coupled whole-genome sequencing (BSA-Seq) two segregating populations, ds1 was mapped short arm chromosome 7B. Further genotypic phenotypic analyses residual heterozygous lines F3 F6 Yong3002×ds1 revealed that there 0-135Mb deletion in 7B associated phenotype. The reads count bulks BSA-Seq along cytological ds1, ND3753, NIL-ds1 NIL-Y3002 confirmed partial unidirectional translocation 5AL (541-713Mb) 7BS (0-135Mb) ds1. This resulted increase copy number expression Q gene, thereby leading phenotype observed Conclusion We identified which exhibiting research deepens our understanding dosage-dependent effect gene on morphology, provides new materials several structural variations breeding.

Starch and seed storage protein (SSP) composition profoundly impact wheat grain yield quality. To unveil regulatory mechanisms governing their biosynthesis, transcriptome, epigenome profiling is conducted across key endosperm developmental stages, revealing that chromatin accessibility, H3K27ac, H3K27me3 collectively regulate SSP starch genes with varying impact. Population transcriptome phenotype analyses highlight accessible promoter regions' crucial role as a genetic variation resource, influencing quality in core collection of accessions. Integration time-serial RNA-seq ATAC-seq enables the construction hierarchical transcriptional network identifying 42 high-confidence novel candidates. These candidates exhibit overlap regions associated size traits, functional significance validated through expression-phenotype association analysis among accessions loss-of-function mutants. Functional abscisic acid insensitive 3-A1 (TaABI3-A1) genome editing knock-out lines demonstrates its promoting accumulation while repressing biosynthesis regulation. Excellent TaABI3-A1

Abstract Changes in gene expression are crucial for crop breeding, yet population genomics has primarily focused on sequence polymorphisms rather than diversity. The strategy of using single genome reference RNA-seq analysis could not handle introgression bias, especially hexaploidy wheat. Here, we conducted 328 wheat lines, including representative diverse landraces and elite cultivars from China the United States, to investigate role variation shaping agronomic traits. Using pan-genome resources, identified 20,615 more transcripts ‘Chinese Spring’ alone. We constructed a pan-gene atlas regulatory map through eQTL analysis, demonstrating that genes introgressed wild relatives were under tight genetic control. Genes responding environmental stress show higher activity after into genome, how long-term breeding selection impacted regulation targeted introgression. Multi-omics modeling 231 high-confidence candidate 34 field traits seedling resistance phenotypes 8 powdery mildew isolates. More one fifth those candidates have no homolog genome. By utilizing indexed KN9204 EMS library, 80% showed significant trait difference between type mutant lines. Furthermore, directional shifts which changed by improvement demonstrated distinct adaptations local environments. Our study correct bias reads mapping studies revealed patterns within their mechanisms, highlighted impact world’s most important crop.

Abstract In wheat, inflorescence architecture critically determines yield potential, yet its structural complexity and asynchronous development have hindered cellular-resolution studies of spikelet floret formation. Here, we integrate spatial transcriptomics, high-sensitivity multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH), snRNA-seq across six developmental stages to generate a spatiotemporal atlas the wheat inflorescence. We identified 20 cell types, spatially resolved into three categories: 1) proliferating cells within spikelet, marked by active division; 2) supporting along central axis, including pith, cortex, vasculature; 3) developmental located both inside at base spikelets. The multi-omics approach enabled identification rare type ovary. Trajectory inference revealed that spikelets florets originate from two temporally distinct sub-clusters proliferating cells (R7), each defined high expression regulators. These findings challenge conventional model sequential meristem transitions (inflorescence-spikelet-floret) in wheat. Integration time-series snATAC-seq delineated cellular transcriptional regulatory networks (cTRNs) governing formation, mediated auxin cytokinin signaling, driven MADS-box transcription factors. Cell identity was maintained type-specific accessible chromatin regions (csACRs), which are enriched for SNPs associated with spike-related traits. For instance, csACRs WFZP DUO1 promoters affect TaNAC30 binding, regulating supernumerary phenotypes. Our work provides mechanistic framework identifies cTRN nodes as potential targets optimizing yield-related architecture.

Cereal grain size and quality are critical agronomic traits in crop production. Wheat development is governed by intricate regulatory networks that require precise spatiotemporal coordination of gene expression to establish functional compartments different cell types. Here, we perform a spatial transcriptomics study covering the early stages wheat development, from 4 12 days after pollination. We classify into 10 distinct types identify 192 marker genes associated with them. WGCNA analysis reveals highly expressed exhibit enrichment patterns, significantly influencing filling. Through co-expression motif analyses, specific group may regulate including TaABI3-B1, transcription factor specifically embryo surrounding endosperm, which negatively affects size. This presents comprehensive transcriptional dataset for understanding development. Additionally, it identifies key genetic resources potential applications improving yield.
