Abstract
Abstract The Oat Breeding Program of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) release in 2019 a new cultivar URS MONARCA developed from the single cross UFRGS 06 6083-3 / UFRGS 00 6183-2. URS MONARCA presents high grain yield, high grain quality, wide adaptation, short plant height and excellent milling yield.
Highlights
Oat belongs to the Poaceae botanical family, Poideae subfamily, Aveneae tribe, and Avena genus
The cultivated oat (Avena sativa L.) is an allohexaploid species consisting of six sets of basic chromosomes (2n = 6x = 42), formed from the aggregation of three subgenomes (AA, CC, and DD) from ancestral diploid species (Rajhathy and Thomas 1974)
In subtropical environments, such as in Southern Brazil, oat is an important component of grain production during the winter/spring seasons in no-tillage crop system rotations, usually with soybeans grown in the summer as the more important crop (Locatelli et al 2007)
Summary
Oat belongs to the Poaceae botanical family, Poideae subfamily, Aveneae tribe, and Avena genus. The cultivated oat (Avena sativa L.) is an allohexaploid species consisting of six sets of basic chromosomes (2n = 6x = 42), formed from the aggregation of three subgenomes (AA, CC, and DD) from ancestral diploid species (Rajhathy and Thomas 1974). Corresponding to about 300 thousand tons more than the previous historical record, reached in 2005, according to official data from CONAB (2019) This success is due, among reasons, to the availability to farmers of cultivars with high agronomic performance and specific cultivation technologies. This has been possible, in large part, due to the joint efforts of various research institutions under the coordination of the Brazilian Oat Research Commission (CBPA), who work for oat culture, developing and disseminating relevant research. Among the activities coordinated by CBPA, are cooperative assays to evaluate grain yield and other agronomic traits of new white oat lines that are developed by breeding programs
