Fig. 1. Characterization of a third lineage of Ae. tauschii and its contribution to the wheat D subgenome.

Fig. 1

The color code for all panels is shown for wheat and Ae. tauschii lineages (L1, L2, L3) in the top left corner. a, Distribution of the 242 Ae. tauschii samples used in this study. The five L3 accessions are indicated by an orange vertical arrow. Country abbreviations are provided in Extended Data Fig. 1a. b, Phylogeny showing the D subgenome of 28 wheat landraces in relation to Ae. tauschii, a tetraploid (AABB genome) outgroup (O) and an Ae. tauschii RIL (labeled R) derived from L1 and L2. c, STRUCTURE analysis of the randomly selected ten accessions from each of L1 and L2 along with the five accessions of L3 and the RIL. K denotes the number of subpopulations considered. d, Genome-wide fixation index (FST) estimates of the Ae. tauschii lineages. e, Venn diagram showing the percentage of lineage-specific and shared k-mers between the lineages. f,g, Chromosome 1D of wheat cultivars/accessions colored according to their Ae. tauschii lineage-specific origin (f). The pattern of lineage-specific contribution to the wheat D subgenome, highlighted for one region by a dashed rectangle, suggests that at least two polyploidization events with distinct Ae. tauschii lineages, as shown in g, followed by intraspecific crossing gave rise to extant hexaploid bread wheat. Ma, million years ago.
