Cultivated hexaploid oat (Common oat; Avena sativa) has held a significant place within the global crop community for centuries; although its cultivation decreased over past century, nutritional benefits have garnered increased interest human consumption. We report development of fully annotated, chromosome-scale assemblies extant progenitor species As- and Cp-subgenomes, atlantica eriantha respectively. The diploid serve as important genetic resources improving common oat's adaptive food...
Abstract Hexaploid oat ( Avena sativa L.) is a commercially important cereal crop due in part to (1‐3,1‐4)‐β‐D‐glucan (β‐glucan), hemicellulose human health. Cellulose synthase‐like Csl ) genes have been shown contribute β‐glucan production, with CslF6 likely being of major importance. Here, we report genome‐wide association study (GWAS) identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling production oat. Three panels elite accessions (Spring, Winter, and World Diversity) were grown multiple...
Huauzontle ( Chenopodium berlandieri ssp. nuttalliae ) is a locally important vegetable crop native to the highland valleys of Central Mexico and potential source genes for improving its Andean sister crop, quinoa ). A previous work involving two huauzontle lines identified one waxy genotype that lacked amylose due mutations in granule-bound starch synthase I GBSSI ), major amylose-synthesis with constituent subgenomes, B. We conducted this study determine extent genotypes cryptic 11...
