Abstract
Genetic diversity is crucial for the sustainability and improvement of plant species. Oats (Avena spp.) are globally cultivated for human and animal nutrition, ranking sixth among cereals. Despite their importance, extensive breeding practices have substantially narrowed the genetic base of cultivated oats, prompting efforts to reintroduce diversity, specifically through the incorporation of genes from wild relatives. This diversity is crucial for addressing challenges such as biotic and abiotic stresses, improving yield, and enhancing nutritional quality. This study compares the genetic diversity of Avena sativa (common oat) and Avena fatua (wild oat), considering their unique domestication histories and ecological adaptations. Common oat, extensively cultivated for grain production, exhibits a narrow genetic base, while wild oat retains broad genetic diversity owing to its undomesticated nature. Cross-breeding efforts involving hexaploid oat species are viable and important for integrating beneficial wild genes into crops. This study seeks to evaluate the genetic diversity of these oat species using SCoT (Start Codon Targeted) and IRAP (Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism) molecular markers alongside chromosomal and phenotypic assessments. The insights gained aim to inform breeding strategies and conservation efforts.
