Extended Data Fig. 5. Identification of alien introgressions from wheat relatives.

Extended Data Fig. 5

A feature of foreign chromosomal introgressions is that they contain unique patterns of TE insertions. Shown are stretches of >20 Mb containing multiple polymorphic RLC-Angela retrotransposons that are found only in one or a few (≤4) of the sequenced lines. One representative chromosome for each wheat subgenome is shown. Individual polymorphic retrotransposons are indicated as coloured vertical lines. Colours correspond to the number of cultivars a foreign segment is found in. Regions of particular interest are indicated by black rectangles. These include the 2NvS alien introgression from A. ventricosa at the end of chromosome 2A in Jagger, Mace, SY Mattis and CDC Stanley, as well as introgression in the central region of chromosome 2B from T. timopheevi in LongReach Lancer, and introgression at the end of chromosome 3D from T. ponticum in LongReach Lancer.
