Inheritance of β‐Glucan Content of Oat Grain
1996-05-01
Abstract excerpt
β‐Glucan in oat ( Avena sativa L.) grain is primarily responsible for the beneficial effect of oat fiber on lowering blood serum cholesterol levels in humans. Plant breeding programs designed to genetically alter the β‐glucan contents of oat germplasm would benefit from information on the inheritance of this trait. Two experiments were conducted to study the inheritance of β‐glucan. Generation means analysis of fi...
