AC Morgan is a high-yielding spring oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivar developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe Research Centre, Lacombe, Alberta and released in 1999. It is described as a medium maturing cultivar with strong straw, plump kernels, high test weight, high protein content, low hull content and high milling yield. It also has low oil content, which is a desirable feature in milling oat cultivars. AC Morgan is well adapted to Alberta and the rust-free areas of Saskatchewan. Key words: Avena sativa, oat (spring), cultivar description

Murphy is a high-yielding forage oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivar developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe Research Centre, Lacombe, AB, and released in 2000. It is a late-maturing cultivar with high biomass yield and good lodging resistance. It was developed from a cross of Waldern/IH-1863-515. Murphy is well adapted to Alberta and the rust-free areas of Saskatchewan. Key words: Avena sativa, forage oat (spring), cultivar description

Baldwin is a white-hulled oat (Avetia sativa L.) cultivar with high yield, high test weight, low hull content and early maturity. It was developed at Macdonald College of McGill University and is adapted to eastern Canada. This cultivar was granted license no. 2563 in November 1985.Key words: Oat, Avena sativa L., high test weight

AC Emerson, a medium-early maturing oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), was released by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Agri-Food Diversification Research Centre, Morden, Manitoba, in 1994. The cultivar has high oil quality, medium-large seed size and was high yielding in both early and late seeding tests in the Black and the Brown Soil zones of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Because of its chlorosis tolerance, it is particularly well suited to the calcareous soils of Manitoba. It is immune to North American races of rust caused by Melampsora lini and moderately resistant to wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini. Key words: Flax, oilseed, Linum usitatissimum L., cultivar description

Morrison is a two-rowed spring feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivar developed by the Plant Research Centre, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. It was selected from a Rodeo/Gitane cross. Morrison has high yield, high test weight, large kernels, good lodging resistance and a high degree of resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis D.C.). It is suitable for growing in Eastern Canada. Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., two-rowed barley, feed barley, high yield

Jasper is an early-maturing, high-yielding spring oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivar developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Lacombe, Alberta. It was selected from a Cavell/Gemini cross, and is intended primarily for production in central and northern Alberta. Jasper is the highest yielding cultivar in its maturity group. It has moderate to low hull content, high test weight and excellent sprouting tolerance.Key words: Avena sativa, oat, cultivar description

Boudrias is a high yielding hulless oat (Avena sativa L.) with strong straw and good lodging resistance. It has a higher test weight, a higher percentage of plump groats and a lower percentage of thin groats than AC Belmont, currently the most popular hulless oat cultivar in western Canada. Boudrias has also demonstrated superior crown rust and barley yellow dwarf virus resistance than AC Belmont. In tests across western Canada, it has yielded 20% more grain than AC Belmont while maturing about a day later. Boudrias is well adapted to all regions of western Canada. Key words: Avena sativa, oat (spring), cultivar description

Donald oats (Avena sativa L.) is a new daylength insensitive oat cultivar suitable for the feed, food (milling), and mixed grain industry in Ontario. Donald combines the traits of high potential grain and groat yields, large seed size, white hulls, low hull percentage, high test weight, low double oat percentage, early maturity, medium lodging resistance, smut resistance and moderate resistance to barley yellow dwarf virus, but it is susceptible to crown and stem rust and septoria.Key words: Avena sativa L., daylength insensitive, smut resistance, barley yellow dwarf resistance, cultivar description, oats

Several reports have indicated that oat β-glucans may play an important role in reducing the incidence of degenerative diseases in humans. However, little information has been published on the inheritance of β-glucan concentration in oat. The development of new cultivars with improved β-glucan concentration would be simplified if the mode of inheritance is understood. Three experiments, each using two parental lines and their F1, F2, F3, BC1F2 and BC2F2 generations, were carried out to determine the inheritance of β-glucan concentration. The results indicate that β-glucan concentration is controlled by a minimum of two or three factor pairs with a predominantly additive type of gene action. In the majority of the generations, β-glucan concentration was found to be positively correlated with protein content and negatively correlated with oil content. It was not correlated with grain yield, number of panicles/plant, or number of kernels per panicle. The broad-sense heritability of β-glucan concentration ranged from 0.45 to 0.58 in the F2, and from 0.48 to 0.56 in the F3 generations, suggesting that it may be relatively easy to develop new oat cultivars with high- or low-β-glucan concentration. Key words: Avena sativa, oat, β-glucan concentration, inheritance
