Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca) causes crown rust disease in cultivated and wild oat
(Avena spp.). The significant yield losses inflicted by this pathogen make crown rust the most …

Biomass yield and quality are the primary targets in forage crop improvement programs
worldwide. Low-quality fodder reduces the quality of dairy products and affects cattle's …

Hexaploid oat (Avena sativa L., 2n= 6x= 42) is a member of the Poaceae family and has a
large genome (∼ 12.5 Gb) containing 21 chromosome pairs from three ancestral genomes …

A physically anchored consensus map is foundational to modern genomics research;
however, construction of such a map in oat (Avena sativa L., 2 n= 6 x= 42) has been …

Background The identification of chromosomes among Avena species have been studied by
C-banding and in situ hybridization. However, the complicated results from several …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) genetic maps are a key enabling tool for genetic studies. We used
genotyping-by-sequencing-(GBS) derived markers to map recombinant inbred line (RIL) and …

Background Next generation sequencing provides new opportunities to explore
transcriptomes. However, challenges remain for accurate differentiation of homoeoalleles …

Key message Six new PCR-based markers for the Pc39 crown rust resistance gene in
Avena sativa L. were developed. Pc39 was mapped to Mrg11 of the oat consensus map …

Lentils (Lens sp.) are one of the main sources of protein for humans in many regions, in part
because their rusticity allows them to withstand semi-dry climates and tolerate a wide …

Vitamin E is essential for humans and thus must be a component of a healthy diet. Among
the cereal grains, hexaploid oats (Avena sativa L.) have high vitamin E content. To date, no …
