Research Topic: Oat Breeding

Breeding, Genomics and Agronomy Research to Improve Oat Yield and Quality

  • Project Status: Completed
  • Principal Investigators: Dr. Weikai Yan and Nick Tinker, AAFC Ottawa
  • Project Dates: April 2018 – March 2023
  • Abstract/Summary: There are six objectives in this project and POGA is helping fund objectives two to six:

    2) identifying optimal agronomic practices to achieve high and stable grain yield and quality, (yes just had condensed the list to save room)

    3) enhancing the current oat breeding procedures in both the Ottawa and Brandon programs with genomic selection,

    4) improving the ability to deploy appropriate rust resistance genes through a survey of Pc gene profiles in existing cultivars, and Pc gene effectiveness in western and eastern Canada,

    5) enhancing genetic diversity in North American oat breeding programs through a joint testing and genotyping network that promotes germplasm exchange and provides information about adaptation,

    6) developing a multi-faceted approach to data and knowledge management that enhances all objectives of this project and benefits world-wide pre-competitive oat research.
