The integration, through hybridization, of the DD genome into domesticated tetraploid wheat gave rise to allohexaploid wheat, the most cultivated wheat globally growing across diverse environmental conditions. However, the regulatory basis of this integration on increased environmental adaptability in allohexaploid remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigated the change of transcriptome, epigenome as well as the chromatin interactome, and metabolome in three independent polyploidization events representing DD genome integration. Our findings reveal that polyploidization events induce the activation of defense-related genes through comprehensive reorganization of epigenome and chromatin architecture. DD integration not only brings an additional gene copy but also activates the homoeologs existing in the A and B subgenomes through chromatin interactions. Furthermore, secondary metabolites represented by alkaloids and flavonoids that are crucial for environmental adaptation, are significantly enriched following polyploidization. Thus, hexaploid wheat exhibits enhanced tolerance to alkalinity, UV-B light stress and high salt conditions was observed. These results highlight the indispensable role of DD genome integration in the adaptability of allohexaploid wheat during its evolution.
