Quantitative trait loci influencing beta-glucan content in oat (Avena sativa, 2n=6x=42).
2000-11-01
Abstract excerpt
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 recombinant inbred populations sharing a common parent (Kanota × Ogle and Kanota × Marion), and containing 137 individual lines each, were used to identify genomic regions that influence the β-gluca...
