Quantitative trait loci for partial resistance to crown rust, Puccinia coronata, in cultivated oat, Avena sativa L.
To facilitate the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for partial resistance to oat crown rust, Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae Eriks., a genetic map was generated in a population of 158 F6-derived oat re...

Novel inter-series hybrids in Solanum, section Petota
Sexual hybrids between distantly related Solanum species can undergo endosperm failure, a post-zygotic barrier in inter-species hybridizations. This barrier is explained by the endosperm balance number (EBN) hypo...

Comparative genetics at the gene and chromosome levels between rice (Oryza sativa) and wildrice (Zizania palustris)
Using comparative genetics, genes, repetitive DNA sequences and chromosomes were studied in the Oryzeae in order to more fully exploit the rice genome sequence data. Of particular focus was Zizania palustris L.,...

High-resolution structural analysis of biolistic transgene integration into the genome of wheat
Transformation of plant genomes by biolistic methods has become routine over the past decade. However, relatively little is known about how transgenes are physically integrated into the host genome. Using a hi...

Analysis of factors influencing milling yield and their association to other traits by QTL analysis in two hexaploid oat populations
Milling yield, or the grain weight from which 100 kg of rolled groats is obtained upon milling, is an important quality characteristic of cultivated oat (Avena sativa L.). Kernel morphology and the groat (caryops...

Comparative AFLP map** in two hexaploid oat populations
Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) can be used to quickly develop linkage maps in plant species and are especially useful for crops with large genomes like oat (Avena sativa L., 2n=6x=42). High repro...

Flow cytometric sorting of maize chromosome 9 from an oat-maize chromosome addition line
Large numbers of maize chromosome 9 can be collected with high purity by flow cytometric sorting of chromosomes isolated from a disomic maize chromosome addition line of oat. Metaphase chromosome suspensions w...

Assignment of RFLP linkage groups to chromosomes using monosomic F1 analysis in hexaploid oat
The availability of molecular genetic maps in oat (Avena spp.) and improved identification of chromosomes by C-banding are two recent developments that have made locating linkage groups to chromosomes possible in...

Molecular marker linkage maps in diploid and hexaploid oat (Avena sp.)
The genus Avena is organized into 14 taxa (8 diploid, 5 tetraploid, and 1 hexaploid) classified on the basis of chromosome number, genome, diaspore (unit of dispersal), flower morphology, and cross fertility (Lad...

Quantitative trait loci influencing β-glucan content in oat (Avena sativa, 2n=6x=42)
The β-glucan content of oat grain is of inter-est due to its positive human health role as a dietary component influencing serum cholesterol levels and its relation to the energy intake of livestock feed. Two ...

A comparative map of wild rice (Zizania palustris L. 2n=2x=30)
We present the first genetic map of wild rice (Zizania palustris L., 2n=2x=30), a native aquatic grain of northern North America. The map is composed principally of previously mapped RFLP (restriction fragment le...

Association of a major groat oil content QTL and an acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene in oat
Oat groats are unique among cereals for the high level and the embryo-plus-endosperm localization of lipids. Genetic manipulation of groat quality traits such as oil is desired for optimizing the value of oat...

Characterization of ‘Sun II’ oat monosomics through C-banding and identification of eight new ‘Sun II’ monosomics
Monosomics are a powerful tool for genetic map** in allopolyploid plant species such as oat (Avena sativa L., 2n=6x=42). A C-banded karyotype of the oat cultivar Sun II was compared with previously described o...
