Inheritance of crude protein and seed traits in interspecific oat crosses

Studies on linkage between protein and crown-rust reaction loci in crosses of Avena sativa x A sterilis

“…Practically, there should be no limit to obtaining high groat-protein genes located on these chromo somes combined with sativa seed type= All correlations of groat-protein percentage with breeding date and plant height were positive. This situation is in contrast to the negative correlations reported byCampbell (1970): Probably, his results and mine really are not in conflict since Campbell's correlation values were low and insignificant. Practically, the correlations of groatprotein percentage with heading date and plant height would not preclude, or ever inhibit, combining high groat-protein percentage into genotypes with any heading date and/or plant height.…”

“…oven for 24 hours, and weighed enough whole groats to give a sample weight of approximately 150 mg (usually 6 -= 10 groats). Nitrogen an alyses were made via the micro-Kjeldahl method described by Campbell (1970), Briefly it consists of:…”
