The book is based on the author's life time experience in
exploring and researching the genus "Avena." It describes some
great events in oat research and minor stories along the way. It
will be of interest and value to all those working with oats and to
students and scientists of crop evolution, including those dealing
with collecting and conserving wild genetic resources.
A first part deals with the morphology and taxonomy of the genus
and a classification based on the biological species concept is
presented. A further part is devoted to the author s research
accomplishments in this genus. It describes morphological
characters distinguishing between diploids and tetraploids of
series Eubarbatae, the genetic relationships between them, and the
mode of origin of the tetraploid form. The section Denticulatae, to
which the common oat belongs, is extensively treated. Further, oat
domestication and the newly domesticated protein rich A. magna are
described. A third part deals with wild genetic resources of
oat.
