Expression profiles of common wheat BBI genes. a Transcript levels of BBI genes in five tissue types (root, leaf, stem, spike and grain) each at three different developmental stages based on the Zadoks scale. Genes were clustered based on their expression profile and all expression data is presented as log2 TPM. b Transcript levels of BBI genes in response to biotic and abiotic stress. Expression levels of each BBI gene in wheat plants infected with fusarium head blight, stripe rust, powdery mildew, fusarium crown rot, Septoria tritici blotch, and bacterium chitin and flg22 (PAMP) were compared to the corresponding mock treatment. Expression is presented as log2 fold change of the TPM between pathogen treatment and mock control. Drought and heat stress data is taken from one-week-old seedlings and presented as log2 fold change of the TPM between stress and control seedlings. Where multiple timepoints were in each dataset, mean fold-changes are presented. Genes are in the same orders as in the tissue specific developmental conditions in panel a. The number of BBI domains and chromosome for each gene are color-coded. The presence (+) or absence (−) of a signal peptide for each protein is indicated
