URL: http://link.springer.com/journal/volumesAndIssues/122 Note: tetraploid (2n=28, CCDD) Avena magna carries higher seed protein than hexaploid cultivated oat; it has been hybridized with A. sativa to generate a domesticated A. magna, and this hybrid after several backcrosses carries genes associated to domestication as reduced awn size, yellow lemma color, glabrous lemma and non-shattering spikelet; this study examined 117 recombinant inbred lines of A. magna to reconstruct a specific linkage map of the tetraploid; it detetect "14 linkage groups defining two genome classes"; only awnedness and basal articulation are traits confirmed under monogenic control and in chromosome 5C; it also found evidence for a distinct C-genome not shared with hexaploid oat, a finding supporting that this species is not an immediate tetraploid ancestor of oat |
