Genome analysis in Avena sativa reveals hidden breeding barriers and opportunities for oat improvement

Tinker et al. identified the position and effects of major QTLs relative to a new fully annotated reference genome in five recombinant inbred line populations representing nine diverse oat (Avena sativa) varieties. They also characterized two major chromosome rearrangements that may impact breeding...
