Oat Reseach

With technologies such as non-destructive NIR, image recognition, and various biochemical analysis we can screen our population for desirable traits such as protein content, oil content, beta-glucan content, arabinoxylan content, avenanthramides, kernel size, thousand kernel weight, and much more. In greenhouses and climate chambers we can create controlled experiments to record high-resolution comparative data, whereas our yearly field trails at multiple locations provide us with real world performance data for important agronomical variables such as yield, height, uniformity, early maturity, and nematode, mycotoxin and disease resistance. We collect both quantitative and qualitative data in the field by direct observation as well as by analysis of drone data and environmental data collected by in-field sensors.

CropTailor’s mutant population, and related work, has been featured in a number of peer reviewed journals, university reports, master’s theses, and other academic papers and conferences - a selection of these are listed below.
