a

A/a, B/b, and D/d represent loci in different genomes; the uppercase and lowercase stand for wild-type and mutated alleles, respectively.

b

In GLM-1, the B genome copy of the TaGW2 gene has two different mutation types: 1 bp deletion (b1) and 3 bp deletion (b2; Fig. 2A). The segregation ratio of these two mutations is 10:14:4 (b1b1:b1b2:b2b2).

c

In GLM-1, the A genome copy of the TaMLO gene has two different mutation types: 1 bp deletion (a1) and 47 bp deletion (a2; Fig. 2A). The segregation ratio of these two mutations is 4:14:10 (a1a1:a1a2:a2a2).

d

Plant GLM-2 has wild-type reads and two different types of mutated reads (Fig. 2A) in the A genome copy of the TaMLO gene. However, its T1 progenies do not have homozygous wild-type plants.

e

New TaGW2 gene alleles in the B genome were induced by the transgenerationally active CRISPR-Cas9.
