🌾🧬 TaHST2 is a negative regulator of heat tolerance in wheat. It was silenced during domestication through sequence and epigenetic changes. Strong artificial selection favored low TaHST2 expression.
Silencing this gene boosted heat tolerance. #plantscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...
TaHST2 negatively regulates thermotolerance in wheat as it encodes a ubiquitin hydrolase that represses heat tolerance by stabilizing TaHSC701/702. During domestication, TaHST2 was progressively suppr...
