Genome scans capture key adaptation and historical hybridization signatures in tetraploid wheat.

ABSTRACT: Tetraploid wheats (Triticum turgidum L.), including durum wheat (T. turgidum ssp. durum (Desf.) Husn.), are important crops with high nutritional and cultural values. However, their production is constrained by sensitivity to environmental conditions. In search of adaptive genetic signatures tracing historical selection and hybridization events, we performed genome scans on two datasets: (1) Durum Global Diversity Panel comprising a total of 442 tetraploid wheat and wild progenitor accessions including durum landraces (n = 286), domesticated emmer (T. turgidum ssp. dicoccum (Schrank) Thell.; n = 103) and wild emmer (T. turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (Korn. ex Asch. & Graebn.) Thell.; n = 53) wheats genotyped using the 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, and (2) a second dataset comp
