Multi-Environment Analysis of Grain Yield and Quality Traits in Oat (Avena sativa L

Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi, 2022

Oat is used for food, in animal feeding and non-food products. Twentyfive oat genotypes were evaluated at six different environments to determine high-yielding, good-quality and stable genotypes. Experiments were conducted in randomized blocks design with 4 replications. Grain yield, plant height, test weight, thousand-grain weight, screening percentage, groat percentage, protein, β-glucan and starch contents were evaluated for 25 oat genotypes. Genotype, environment and genotype × environment interaction had extremely important effects on yield and quality of oat grains. The additive main effects and multiplicative interactions analysis disclosed important genotype and environmental effects in addition to genotype by environmental interaction according to grain yield. Using AMMI analysis, three promising oat genotypes (G1, G3 and G7) were defined in comparison to the cultivars and these genotypes had 4.03, 3.77 and 3.70 t ha-1 , respectively. AMMI-2 biplot revealed that E6 was the most discriminating environment for grain yield of oat genotypes. Genotypeby-trait (GT) biplot explained 54.9% of total variation. Grain yield were positive associated with all traits except plant height. G1, G3 and G7 genotypes, which showed the best performance and higher stability, also had good quality traits.

Grain Yield and Some Quality Traits of Different Oat (Avena sativa L.) Genotypes

— Oat cultivars should have both high yield potential and some quality criteria in accordance with using targets. Hence, grain yield and some quality traits of 25 oat genotypes grown in two consecutive years were studied. This study was carried out during the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 growing seasons in Yozgat, Turkey. Grain yield, plant height, hectolitre weight, thousand grain weight, great percentage and grain composition (protein, fat, ash, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), β-glucan and starch) were evaluated. Analysis of the combined data for two years showed significant genotypic differences for all traits. According to the average of two years, among the genotypes, grain yield varied from 2432.3 (2 numbered genotype) to 5650.2 (19 numbered genotype) kg ha-1 , plant height from 76.3 to 128.3 cm, hectoliter weight from 41.5 to 52.3 kg, thousand grain weight from 24.5 to 41.3 g, groat percentage from 70.4 to 76.6 %, protein content from 11.1to 14.3 %, fat content from 5.86 to 8.47 %, ash ratio from 2.52 to 3.43 %, ADF content from 11.0 to 16.4 %, NDF content from 29.5 to 37.3 %, β-glucan content from 1.33 to 2.58 % and starch content ranged from 34.9 to 47.7 %. Grain yield was significantly and positively correlated with thousand grain weight (r = 0.253**) and neutral detergent fibre (r = 0.160**). However, correlations between grain yield with crude protein (r =-0.216**) and hectolitre weight (r = 0.246) were significantly and negative.

Genetic variability and character association analyses among yield and yield contributing traits in oats (Avena sativa L.)

International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2018

Twenty five oat (Avena sativa L.) strains were evaluated morphologically for days to flowering, days to maturity, fresh green weight per plant (g), total number of tillers per plant, plant height (cm), leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm) leaves per plant, nodes per plant, biological yield per plant (g) and seed yield per plant (g) to evaluate the genetic variance, heritability and genetic advance and character association for each character in the materials. Analysis of variance revealed significant variation exists among the stains for all characters studied. The estimation of genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation were high for total number of tillers per plant, 100-seed weight, fresh green weight, and seed yield per plant. High heritability along with high genetic advance as percent of mean were observed for fresh green weight per plant, total number of number tillers per plant and seed yield per plant. Seed yield per plant exhibited significant positive association with leaf length, days to maturity and plant height. It was concluded that leaf length, days to maturity and plant height are major yield contributing characters in selecting high yielding oats stains. This investigation exhibited that there exists a wide range of genetic variability among oats strains for most of the characters which would be useful for direct selection of high yielding strains.

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance studies in oat (Avena sativa L.)

International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2019

Eight genotypes viz., Kent, OS 6, JHO-99-2, JHO 851, OS 403, OL 125, UPO 212 and NDO 612 were studied for genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for green fodder yield, days to 50% flowering, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, plant height, number of tillers per plant, stem girth, number of green pod per spike, length of spike and leaf stem ratio. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences among the parents and F1s for all the attributes. The parent's vs hybrids revealed highly significant differences for all the traits. The F test indicated that the variance due to treatments were highly significant for all the characters which indicated that the presence of substantial genetic variability in the present set of material. The highest values of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation (more than 25%) were observed for number of leaves per plant, number of tillers per plant, leaf stem ratio and green fodder yield per plant, suggested that there was a possibility of improvement of fodder yield through direct selection. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for number of leaves per plant, leaf area, plant height, Number of tillers per plant, stem girth, number of green pods per spike, length of spike and green fodder yield per plant, indicating that these characters are governed by additive gene action. Direct selection of these attributes will be effective and profitably for yield improvement.

Associations between agronomic performance and grain chemical traits in oat

2020

Great progress has already been achieved in breeding white oats (Avena sativa L.). However, breeders of this species need to make available to the market higher yielding and higher grain quality cultivars. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the strategies of selection of superior genotypes. The present work aimed to estimate the correlation between traits related to agronomic performance and traits related to chemical composition of white oat grains, seeking to add understanding for the selection of higher yielding genotypes with high nutritional quality. Thirty families from the cross between the cultivars Albasul and UPF 15 were used, and 31 families from the cross between the cultivars IAC 7 and UFRGS 19. Six traits related to agronomic performance and five traits corresponding to the chemical composition of the grains were evaluated. To assess the relationship between the different traits evaluated, simple correlation and canonical correlation analyzes were performed. The re...

Stability of grain number per panicle in a collection of autumn oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes

Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2019

The purpose of this study is to examine the stability of grain number per panicle in a collection of autumn oat genotypes under different climatic conditions. The biological material analysed consisted of 73 oat genotypes studied over a period of three years. The experimental data were obtained by biometric measurements and subsequently processed using the following linear regression models: Finlay-Wilkinson, Hardwick-Wood, Muir and Wrike. The grain number per panicle obtained varied according to the annual climatic conditions both as means and the intrapopulational variability. The Jefferson, Carrie and Florina cultivars, as well as the 4458, PA 725-4743 and PA 822-818 lines, exhibited a high dynamic stability associated with the above-average values of the grain number per panicle. Relative to this character, a total 53.10 % of the genotype x environment interaction is due to the heterogeneity of variances.
