Expression profiles of allopolyploids and their parents lines during allopolyploidization. Expression profiles of allopolyploids and their parents lines during allopolyploidization

We profiled genome-wide gene expression changes in newly hybridized triploids (ABD), its genome-duplicated hexaploid (AABBDD), stable synthetic hexaploid (AABBDD) and T. turgidum (AABB) and Ae. tauschii (DD) parental lines of two independent crosses to reconstruct the events of allopolyploidization and genome stabilization. Overall design: Gene expression levels of newly hybridized triploids (ABD), its chromosome-doubled hexaploids (AABBDD), stable synthetic hexaploid (AABBDD) which were selfed during 4 and 13 generations, and their parents, Triticum turgidum (AABB) and Aegilops tauschii (DD) were compared. Total RNA of each line was extracted from three biological replicates of two leaves seedlings except for triploids.For newly hybridized triploids, biological duplicates of two leaves seedlings were used.
