Complex characterization of oat (Avena sativa L.) lines obtained by wide crossing with maize (Zea mays L.)

摘要

BackgroundThe oat × maize addition (OMA) lines are used for mapping of the maize genome, the studies of centromere-specific histone (CENH3), gene expression, meiotic chromosome behavior and also for introducing maize C4 photosynthetic system to oat. The aim of our study was the identification and molecular-cytogenetic characterization of oat × maize hybrids.
