HebQTLs reveal intra-subgenome regulation inducing unbalanced expression and function among bread wheat homoeologs by Xiaoming Wang, Yuxiu Liu, Peng Zhao, Wenyang Hou, Mingzhu Cheng, Xue Shi, James Simmonds, Philippa Borrill, Xiaojie Wang, Wanquan Ji, Shengbao Xu

“…We develop a new model allowing us to identify 14,727 quantitative trait loci regulating the variation in homoeolog expression bias (hebQTLs), indicating that homoeolog expression bias is genetically regulated and can be predicted using genotyping data. The hebQTLs mostly regulate the expression of homoeologs in the same subgenome and downregulate expression to produce homoeolog expression bias, suggesting that intra-subgenomic rather than inter-subgenomic interactions induce homoeolog expression bias. …”
