Exploring the diversity of promoter and 5′UTR sequences in ancestral, historic and modern wheat

Abstract

A data set of promoter and 5′UTR sequences of homoeo‐alleles of 459 wheat genes that contribute to agriculturally important traits in 95 ancestral and commercial wheat cultivars is presented here. The high‐stringency myBaits technology used made individual capture of homoeo‐allele promoters possible, which is reported here for the first time. Promoters of most genes are remarkably conserved across the 83 hexaploid cultivars used with <7 haplotypes per promoter and 21% being identical to the reference Chinese S…
