Collation and orthology-based identification of hormone-related genes in bread wheat

Plant hormones coordinate a plethora of developmental processes in plants, including responses to abiotic and biotic stressors. Here, we collate the findings of previous studies identifying bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) genes related to hormonal processes (biosynthesis, transport, signalling, and catabolism) and collect wheat orthologues from hundreds of additional hormone-related genes utilising the Ensembl Plants Compara database. We have initially conducted this procedure for abscisic acid, auxins (IAA and IBA), brassinosteroids, cytokinins, ethylene, gibberellins, and strigolactone, yielding a total of over 1,700 putative wheat orthologues. We aim to provide a community resource to aid gene annotation and subsequent analyses. We warmly welcome feedback from the community.
