Characterization of Expression and Epigenetic Features of Core Genes in Common Wheat.

ABSTRACT: The availability of multiple wheat genome sequences enables us to identify core genes and characterize their genetic and epigenetic features, thereby advancing our understanding of their biological implications within individual plant species. It is, however, largely understudied in wheat. To this end, we reanalyzed genome sequences from 16 different wheat varieties and identified 62,299 core genes. We found that core and non-core genes have different roles in subgenome differentiation. Meanwhile, according to their expression profiles, these core genes can be classified into genes related to tissue development and stress responses, including 3376 genes highly expressed in both spikelets and at high temperatures. After associating with six histone marks and open chromatin, we found that th
