Bioinformatics analysis strategies were developed to gain novel insights into the genome, transcriptome, and function of allohexaploid bread wheat. Among homoeologous genomes the gene repertoire was found to be largely conserved after polyploidization. However, abundance of gene fragments and expansion of gene families related to crop productivity indicate a considerable degree of genome plasticity. Functional genome asymmetry suggests a complex regulatory genome interplay orchestrating gene expression in the developing grain of a polyploid cereal genome.
