Convergence within divergence: insights of wheat adaptation from Triticum population sequencing
Yao Zhou, Xuebo Zhao, Yiwen Li…·Fei Lü
This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Triticum and Aegilops populations to show that introgression from wild relatives contributed 13-36% of the bread wheat genome, enhancing genetic diversity and enabling adaptation, while convergent adaptation to human selection was enriched despite ploidy and environmental differences.
