Abstract

The motivation behind this project involves the desire to assign diploid oat linkage groups to specific locations on the physical diploid oat chromosome (1). In order to accomplish this, a stock of monosomic oat plants is required. Monosomic plants are defined as plants that are chromosome deficient. To achieve monosomic lines, two unrelated parent plants are crossed through artificial pollination, followed by backcrosses of the progeny with one of the parent plants.
