A molecular framework of the Rht-A1–TaLA1-D module controlling tiller angle in wheat

Abstract Tiller angle is a critical determinant of wheat plant architecture, which profoundly impacts yield potential. However, the regulatory mechanisms of tiller angle in wheat remain largely unexplored. To explore the underlying mechanisms, we identify two EMS-mutagenized wheat mutants tiller angle 1 (ta1) and ta2 with enlarged tiller angles. Molecular characterization reveals that TA1 and TA2 encode the DELLA protein Rht-A1 and TaLA1-D, respectively.

Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-36271-z, published online 14 February 2023 The original version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 6b, in which the two labels “TN1ANK-GFP” and “TaPYL-1D-Flag” in the top-left corner of the display were swapped. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article. Author information Author notes These authors contributed equally: Chunhao Dong, Lichao Zhang.

Epigenetic Landscape Is Largely Shaped by Diversiform Transposons in Aegilops tauschii

Abstract : Transposons (TEs) account for more than 80% of the wheat genome, the highest among all known crop species. They play an important role in shaping the elaborate genomic landscape, which is the key to the speciation of wheat. In this study, we analyzed the association between TEs, chromatin states, and chromatin accessibility in Aegilops tauschii, the D genome donor of bread wheat.
