Genus-specific localization of the TaiI family of tandem-repetitive sequences in either the centromeric or subtelomeric regions in Triticeae species (Poaceae) and its evolution in wheat

The Tail family sequences are classified as tandem repetitive DNA sequences present in the genome of tribe Triticeae, and are localized in the centromeric regions of common wheat, but in the subtelomeric heterochromatic regions of Leymus racemosus and related species. In this study, we investigated the chromosomal distribution of TaiI family sequences in other Triticeae species. The results demonstrated a centromeric localization in genera Triticum and Aegilops and subtelomeric localization in other genera, thus showing a genus-dependent localization of TaiI family sequences in one or the other region. The copy numbers of TaiI family sequences in species in the same genus varied greatly, whether in the centromeric or subtelomeric regions (depending on genus). We also examined the evolution of TaiI family sequences during polyploidization of hexaploid common wheat. A comparison of chromosomal locations of the major TaiI family signals in common wheat and in its ancestral species suggested that the centromeric TaiI family sequences in common wheat were inherited from its ancestors with little modification, whereas a mixed origin for the B genome of common wheat was indicated.
