| Popis: | Dans l’alimentation humaine, le blé joue un rôle capital du fait de sa valeur nutritive. Une hausse de la production de plus de 20 % sera nécessaire d’ici 2050 simplement pour garantir aux populations les standards actuels de consommation alimentaire. Prenant en compte les bouleversements climatiques créant des contraintes environnementales conséquentes, l’amélioration du rendement en blé sans perte de qualité devient un réel défi mondial. C’est dans ce contexte que s’inscrit ma thèse.La génomique translationnelle est une approche intégrative qui fait le lien entre Recherche Fondamentale et Appliquée, où les espèces modèles jouent le rôle de pivot pour étudier les espèces d’intérêt agronomique. J’ai mis en œuvre cette approche de recherche translationnelle pour étudier finement l’histoire évolutive, l’organisation et la régulation du génome du blé. Le blé est une espèce polyploïde qui a subi des duplications chromosomiques récentes (500 000 et 10 000 ans) et anciennes Wheat plays a key role in Human food due to its nutritional value. Wheat production needs to be increased by more than 20% by 2050 to guarantee current human consumption standards. Taking into account climatic changes with high level of environmental constraints, yield improvement without quality loss became a big challenge. This consists in the economical and societal context of the current doctoral thesis.The integrative translational genomic approach consists in transferring fundamental knowledge gained from model species to applied practices for breeding in crops. This strategy was used here to study the evolutionary history, the organization and the regulation of the modern bread wheat genome. Modern wheat is a polypoid species deriving from two hybridization events between diploid progenitors 500 000 and 10 000 years ago, as well as a more ancient that dated back to more than 90 million years ago. The current research consisted in using cereal species closely related to wheat to study the impact of these duplications on the structural and expression plasticity of duplicated genes in wheat.My results established that the diploidization process is in progress in wheat after the successive rounds of polyploidization events. This diploidization consists in the accumulation of mutations, gene loss or expression modification between duplicated genes. This diploidization is nonrandom at the genome level; generating dominant chromosomic regions with high stability in contrast to others regions more sensitive with high plasticity. Based on such wheat genome evolutionary analysis, polyploidy appears as a major evolutionary force driving plant adaptation through structural and expressional specialization of duplicated genes.Such post-polyploidy genomic asymmetry drives finally the phenotype diploidization as illustrated in the current research with the study of genetic basis of the tiller inhibition Trait. This trait seems to be driven by a 109 pb insertion coding for a microRNA located solely on the chromosome 1A, known as a sensitive genomic fraction.The current research established that the modern bread wheat has been quasi-entirely diploidized at the structural, expressional and phenotypic levels, now requiring a new definition of the polypoid concept in line with current genomic investigations, as illustrated in the current thesis. |
