Topologically associating domains (TADs) are essential structural and functional modules of the genome that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. In this study, we systematically investigated the conservation and evolution of TADs in five closely related crops, including maize, sorghum, coix, foxtail millet and broomcorn millet. Our results show that 74% of TAD boundaries are conserved between two inbred maize lines, B73 and Mo17, and that approximately 50% or more of TAD boundaries are conserved across different crop species. TAD number remains relatively stable in the face of changes in genome size. However, the length of TADs varies depending on genome size. Furthermore, we found that large-scale transposable element expansion leads to TAD expansion, while chromosomal inversions lead to TAD fusion and the formation of new TAD boundaries. Frequent chromatin interactions between subgenome chromosomes occur after whole-genome duplication. Moreover, we also found that crossovers are enriched at TAD boundaries in maize, indicating the importance of TADs as a fundamental unit during species evolution. Overall, our study provides insights into the conservation and evolution of TADs in crop genomes and their roles in genome organization and function.
