Abstract
Polyploid wheats comprise four species: Triticum turgidum (AABB genomes) and T. aestivum (AABBDD) in the Emmer lineage, and T. timopheevii (AAGG) and T. zhukovskyi (AAGGA(m) A(m) ) in the Timopheevi lineage. Genetic relationships between chloroplast genomes were studied to trace the evolutionary history of the species. Twenty-five chloroplast genomes were sequenced, and 1127 plant accessions were genotyped, representing 13 Triticum and Aegilops species. The A. speltoides (SS genome) diverged before the divergence of T. urartu (AA), A. tauschii (DD) and the Aegilops species of the Sitopsis section. Aegilops speltoides forms a monophyletic clade with the polyploid Emmer and Timopheevi wheats, which originated within the last 0.7 and 0.4 Myr, respectively. The geographic distribution of chloroplast haplotypes of the wild tetraploid wheats and A. speltoides illustrates the possible geographic origin of the Emmer lineage in the southern Levant and the Timopheevi lineage in northern Iraq. Aegilops speltoides is the closest relative of the diploid donor of the chloroplast (cytoplasm), as well as the B and G genomes to Timopheevi and Emmer lineages. Chloroplast haplotypes were often shared by species or subspecies within major lineages and between the lineages, indicating the contribution of introgression to the evolution and domestication of polyploid wheats.

Abstract
The S genome of Aegilops speltoides is closely related to the B and G genomes of polyploid wheats. However, little work has been reported on the genetic relationships between the S-genome and B-genome chromosomes of polyploid wheat. Here, we report the isolation of a set of disomic substitutions (DS) of S-genome chromosomes for the B-genome chromosomes and their effects on gametophytic and sporophytic development. Ae. speltoides chromosomes were identified by their distinct C-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization patterns with the Ae. speltoides-derived clone pGc1R-1. Although no large structural differences between S-genome and B-genome chromosomes exist, significant differences in gametophytic compensation were observed for chromosomes 1S, 3S, 5S and 6S. Similarly, chromosomes 1S, 2S, 4S, 5S and 6S affected certain aspects of sporophytic development in relation to spike morphology, fertility and meiotic pairing. The DS5S(5B) had disturbed meiosis with univalents/multivalents and suffered chromosome elimination in the germ tissues leading to haploid spikes in 50% of the plants. The effect of the Ph1 gene on meiosis is well known, and these results provide evidence for the role of Ph1 in the maintenance of polyploid genome integrity. These and other data are discussed in relation to the structural and functional differentiation of S- and B-genome chromosomes and the practical utility of the stocks in wheat improvement.

Abstract
The breeding of polyploid rice made no breakthrough for a long time because of low seed set. The discovery and application of polyploid meiosis stability (PMeS) material played a pivotal role in solving this problem. Our results indicated that genome duplication led to different outcomes in different rice cultivars in terms of pollen fertility, viability, and the accumulation of important physiological substances such as free proline and endogenous hormones. Pollen from the PMeS HN2026-4X lines showed a high fertility and viability similar to those of HN2026-2X (4X indicates tetraploid while 2X indicates the diploid), whereas both rates decreased dramatically in Balilla-4X. The results of pollen microstructure and ultrastructure investigations suggested that the pollen development pattern in HN2026-4X appeared normal at all stages, but a lot of changes were discovered in Balilla-4X. Stable meiosis, timely tapetum degradation, and normal mitochondria development were critical factors insuring the high frequency pollen fertility of PMeS rice. The free proline content increased markedly in HN2026-4X as compared to HN2026-2X, but it was decreased for Balilla-4X. Genome duplication effects on regulating endogenous hormones accumulation in pollen were evident, resulting in the clear difference between PMeS HN2026-4X and Balilla-4X. The accumulation of IAA, ZR, and GA in mature pollen distinguished HN2026-4X from Balilla-4X, which was linked to normal pollen development. In particular, the excessive accumulation of ABA at the meiosis stage may be correlated to disorganized meiosis in Balilla-4X. All the results provided unequivocal evidence that genome duplication played specific roles in the normal pollen development of PMeS HN2026-4X.
