Assembly, Annotation And Optical Mapping Of The A Subgenome Of Avena, Rebekah Ann Lee
Assembly, Annotation And Optical Mapping Of The A Subgenome Of Avena, Rebekah Ann Lee
Theses and Dissertations
Common oat (Avena) has held a significant place within the global crop community for centuries; although its cultivation has decreased over the past century, its nutritional benefits have recently garnered increased interest for human consumption. No published reference sequences are available for any of the three oat subgenomes. Here we report a quality sequence assembly, annotation and hybrid optical map of the A-genome diploid Avena atlantica Baum and Fedak. The assembly is composed of a total of 3,417 contigs with an N50 of 11.86 Mb and an estimated completeness of 97.6%. This genome sequence will be a valuable research tool …

Mitigating Risks Of Ochratoxin A Contamination In Oats, Bandana Dhungana
Mitigating Risks Of Ochratoxin A Contamination In Oats, Bandana Dhungana
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic metabolite produced by several species of fungal genera Penicillium and Aspergillus. The major OTA producer in temperate regions (i.e. U.S., Canada, Europe) is Penicillium verrucosum. Oat (Avena sativa), like any other cereal grain, can be contaminated with OTA when storage conditions are favorable for fungal growth. The presence of OTA exceeding the European Union maximum limit of 3 ppb in processed food has been reported in some samples of oat-based breakfast cereals from the US. The use of oat genotypes with limited OTA accumulation would be an effective way to …
