Abstract
Avena magna is a new tetraploid species morphologically similar to the hexaploid A. sterilis, having a high concentration of protein, large caryopses, and outstanding resistance to crown rust. One genome in A. magna appears homologous to the As genome present in hexaploid, tetraploid, and one group of diploid species. Avena magna is a possible ancestor of cultivated oats.Entities:
