Genotyping to integrate historical research efforts in oat

The oat breeding and genetics community has benefitted from two long standing cooperative resources, the Uniform Oat Performance Nurseries (UOPN) and the Pedigrees of Oat Lines (POOL) database.  Data from these resources have recently been consolidated in the oat instance of The Triticeae Toolbox (T3/oat, available at triticeaetoolbox.org/oat). In the past year, a Public Oat Genotyping Initiative (POGI) started to obtain marker information on primarily public sector oat breeding lines using genotyping by sequencing (GBS). In this talk, we will present these three resources and evaluate analyses that bring together the information from them to predict the performance of experimental oat breeding lines.
