Abstract
Naked oat (Avena sativa var. nuda L.), the caryopsis of which threshes free from both lemma and palea, has excellent nutritional quality, but lower grain yields than conventional hulled oat. However, increasing grain yield of naked lines by up to 25% is probably easier than improving the quality of other cereals [1]. In Finland, breeding for high yielding naked oat began in the early 1970’s and several breeding lines have been produced [2], The aim of the present study was to compare the differences between naked and conventional oat lines in grain yield, groat yield, and morpho-physiological traits — i.e. to identify characteristics limiting grain yield of naked oat lines.
