The Ph Locus and the rise of bread wheat
Dr Glyn Jenkins
Wheat – a plant that feeds the world
Cultivated area: 215,489,485 Ha (area of UK 22,933,252Ha)
Production: 670,775,485 tonnes
Global productivity: 3.1 t/Ha
Contributes 20% of total food calories and protein in human nutrition
Wheat 20:20 – Project aim to have achieve an average yield of 20 t/Ha
Yield plateau reached - so where do we go from here?
Grassini et al. (2012)
The origin of wheat
• First cultivation of wheat (diploid and
tetraploid) occurred about 10000
years ago, as part of the ‘Neolithic
Revolution’
• Cultivation spread to the Near East
• 9000 years ago hexaploid bread
wheat made its first appearance
• The main route into Europe via
• Greece (8000 BP)
• Balkans to the Danube (7000 BP)
• Italy, France and Spain (7000 BP),
• UK and Scandinavia by about 5000
BP

– Wheat has 3 homoeologous chromosome sets A, B and D
– Disomic inheritance preserves hybrid nature

How does wheat produce 4 haploid cells at the end of meiosis?
Moore (2002)
Pairing homoeologous
• Initially it was assumed that the three diploid species whose
genomes had gone to make up hexaploid wheat were strongly
differentiated
– How else could one explain the near absence of meiotic
pairing in haploids of the hexaploid species?
• 1952 – became clear that the corresponding chromosomes of
the three different genomes are genetically very closely related
• Riley and Chapman (1958) - discovered that homoeologous
pairing is suppressed by a gene or genes on the long arm of
chromosome 5B
– Became known as Ph1
– N.B. – wheat contains additional Ph loci
• How does Ph1 work?

∴ Ph1 is critical to maintaining genome stability in wheat
Effect of Ph1

If Ph1 locus is deleted, pairing is
induced between homoeologous

What is Ph1 ?
Cloning - the issues
• The wheat genome is very large 17 Gb. (human 3Gb, yeast 0.12Gb)
– Three closely related genomes!
• No natural variation in Ph1 phenotype
-Can’t create segregating populations, the starting point of all
previous positional cloning projects
• EMS treatments don’t yield mutants
• But X-Ray and fast neutron irradiation do
-A single deletion (ph1b) of the locus = 70Mb in size

Ph1 locus

Cluster of 7 Cyclin dependent kinase-like (Cdks)
genes on the long arm of 5B
All defective genes
= Ph1 locus
Large segment of
Heterochromatin
inserted on
polyploidisation
Hypothesis- the defective 5B Cdk copies are suppressing
the activity of the related Cdks elsewhere in the genome.
But how to take the study further in wheat?
Ph1 Cdk-like gene shows similarity to Cdk2
Cdk2 in mammals affects histone H1 phosphorylation
So as a defective locus, does Ph1 suppress Cdk activity,
hence histone H1 phosphorylation?

Does Ph1 affect histone H1 phosphorylation?

Summary
Deleting Ph1 increases Cdk activity- which increases
histone H1 phosphorylation
Result - pairing between homoeologous chromosomes
Key question
Can we mimic the effect of deleting Ph1 by increasing
histone H1 phosphorylation and hence induce pairing
between related chromosomes?
Does increased Cdk-type activity induce
pairing between related chromosomes?
•Okadaic acid inhibits
phosphatases
•Okadaic acid increases histone
H1 kinase activity
•Does okadaic acid induce
pairing between related
chromosomes?
Detached tiller method
Okadaic acid induces pairing of related chromosomes in a
wheat x rye hybrid
No okadaic acid – mostly
univalents
Okadaic acid treatment
produces a similar effect
on chromosome pairing of
related chromosomes as
deleting Ph1

Does okadaic acid
treatment affect the same

The “Ph1” Cdk2-type consensus site shows increased phosphorylation
with okadaic acid treatment
Increased histone H1 phosphorylation leads to more “open”
/decondensed chromatin? How does this affect pairing /recombination?

The Ph1 effect is important
agronomically
Wild species of wheat carry important traits for
disease resistance and salt, cold and drought
tolerance
**Strategic Goal**
Switch Ph1 on and off in elite wheat varieties
crossed with wild species to introduce novel
genes to the commercial crop
Summary
• Wheat is a global crop with a complex
evolutionary history which gave it its hexaploid
status
• Ph1 stabilises the wheat genome by controlling
pairing, and effectively turns it into a diploid
• Ph1 is related to human Cdk2 which
phosphorylates histone H1 and modifies
chromatin conformation
• Ph1 could be used to introduce novel genes into
commercial crops
