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 (<em>Triticum aestivum</em>) genes related to hormonal processes (<strong>biosynthesis</strong>, <strong>transport</strong>, <strong>signalling</strong>, and <strong>catabolism</strong>) and collect wheat orthologues from hundreds of additional hormone-related genes utilising the Ensembl Plants Compara database. We have initially conducted this procedure for <strong>abscisic acid</strong>, <strong>auxins </strong>(IAA and IBA), <strong>brassinosteroids</strong>, <strong>cytokinins</strong>, <strong>ethylene</strong>, <strong>gibberellins</strong>, and <strong>strigolactone</strong>, 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. Please refer to the file <strong>README.pdf</strong> for further details, including methods and references.
