Alloplasmic lines involving the nuclear genomes of the hexaploid oat Avena sativa, the cytoplasms of the diploid species A. canariensis, A. hirtula, A. pilosa, A. prostrata, and A. ventricosa, and the tetraploid A. barbata have been produced. The cytoplasmic effects on growth rate and flowering date are described with particular reference to the introduction of the cytoplasm from the two C-genome diploid species.Key words: Avena, quantitative inheritance, cytoplasmic effects.
