Genomes of Aegilops umbellulata provide new insights into unique structural variations and genetic diversity in the U-genome for wheat improvement
Aegilops umbellulata serve as an important reservoir for novel biotic and abiotic stress tolerance for wheat improvement. However, chromosomal rearrangements and evolutionary trajectory of this species remain to be elucidated. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation into Ae. umbellulata genome by generating a high-quality near telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of PI 554389 and resequencing 20 additional Ae. umbellulata genomes representing diverse geographical and phenotypic variations. Our analysis unveils complex chromosomal rearrangements, most prominently in 4U and 6U chromosomes, delineating a distinct evolutionary trajectory of Ae. umbellulata from wheat and its relatives. Furthermore, our data rectified the erroneous naming of chromosomes 4U and 6U in the past and highlighted multiple major evolutionary events that led to the present-day U-genome. Resequencing of diverse Ae. umbellulata accessions revealed high genetic diversity within the species, partitioning into three distinct evolutionary sub-populations and supported by extensive phenotypic variability in resistance against several races/pathotypes of five major wheat diseases. Disease evaluations indicated the presence of several novel resistance genes in the resequenced lines for future studies. Resequencing also resulted in the identification of six new haplotypes for Lr9, the first resistance gene cloned from Ae. umbellulata. The extensive genomic and phenotypic resources presented in this study will expedite the future genetic exploration of Ae. umbellulata, facilitating efforts aimed at enhancing resiliency and productivity in wheat.
