Background  Variability of the  VRN1  promoter region of the unique collection of spring polyploid and wild diploid wheat species together with diploid goatgrasses (donor of B and D genomes of polyploid wheats) were investigated. Accessions of wild diploid ( T. boeoticum ,  T. urartu ) and tetraploid ( T. araraticum, T. timopheevii ) species were studied for the first time.    Results  Sequence analysis indicated great variability in the region from -62 to -221 nucleotide positions of the  VRN1  promoter region. Different indels were found within this region in spring wheats. It was shown that  VRN1  promoter region of B and G genome can also contain damages such as the insertion of the transposable element.  Some transcription factor recognition sites including hybrid C/G-box for TaFDL2 protein known as the  VRN1  gene upregulator were predicted inside the variable region. It was shown that deletions leading to promoter damage occurred in diploid and polyploid species independently. DNA transposon insertions first occurred in polyploid species. At the same time, the duplication of the promoter region was observed in A genomes of polyploid species.    Conclusions  We can conclude that supposed molecular mechanism of the  VRN1  gene activating in cultivated diploid wheat species  T. monococcum  is common also for wild  T. boeoticum  and was inherited by  T. monococcum . The spring polyploids are not related in their origin to spring diploids. The spring  T. urartu  and goatgrass accessions have another mechanism of flowering activation that is not connected with indels in  VRN1  promoter region. All obtained data may be useful for detailed insight into origin of spring wheat forms in evolution and domestication process.
