Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
Oat research is directed at developing new oat varieties for the UK market and the oat genetics and genomics work is integrated with commercial plant breeding programmes. The overall approach is to make maximum use of the new sequencing and phenotyping technologies and integrate these with the development of novel populations for trait mapping and marker validation. In addition to bi-parental populations to derive reference diploid (A genome) and hexaploid winter oat maps, nested association mapping and multi-parent advanced generation intercross populations are also being developed. Key target traits relate to crop architecture, phenology and grain composition. In addition to map-based approaches, research also exploits the potential of comparative genomics (with Avena spp. and other Poaceae genomes) and extensive germplasm collections in order to identify and discover new sources of variation. IBERS oat researchers collaborate extensively with international consortia, particularly in terms of molecular marker development and multisite field trials, in order to maximise the value of the programme.

| Description | A combination of genotyping-by-sequencing and detailed phenotyping (including NPPC, field and aerial assessments) has been used to dissect flowering time, vernalisation, photoperiod sensitivity, height and grain size QTL in cultivated and diploid oats. Confirmation of the phenotype of QTL-NILs has been completed and has demonstrated the interaction of height and flowering time genes in determining yield and adaptation. Markers for disease, quality and other agronomic traits have been deployed in the breeding programme. A diploid Avena atlantica genome 'zipper' has been assembled, with ~1.6 Gb of contigs (N50 c. 20kb) mapped to intervals of ~1% total map length. This bin map contains over 26,000 annotated genes and is being used for gene discovery, anchoring high density hexaploid maps and as a reference for other wild and cultivated Avena sequence assemblies. Population structure and genetic diversity analysis of an oat association panel (oat Infinium iSelect and genotyping-by-sequencing) has revealed 5 sub-populations and associations with flowering time. 800 Turkish oat landrace accessions have been obtained and are being characterised as part of a collaboration with Kahramanmaras Uni (TK). |

| Description | Markers associated with genes identified in this project are now used to select improved varieties in oat breeding programmes in the UK and elsewhere. Understanding of the role of flowering time in adaptation has led to the development of tools to select varieties tailored to specific environments. These new varieties have now been grown in field trials for the first time with commercial partners. These varieties have the potential to improve the economic value of winter and spring oats, for example not requiring application of fungicides as well as delivering environmental benefits. Genomics resources developed in combination by the QUOATS LINK and Institute Strategic programme Grant provided the first detailed catalogue of Avena genes and their approximate map position in the diploid species Avena atlantica. A hexaploid Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population allowed translation of that data to the oat crop, while additional mapping, genotyping, phenotyping and RNAseq resources allowed development of pipelines to identify candidate genes for traits such as dwarfism and flowering time. The resources have been shared with collaborators, notably to aid in genomics programmes producing references for diploid and hexaploid oats in the UK and USA, and to produce the first exome capture design for oat in collaboration with AAFC, Canada. NAM data is being used to develop a new genotyping platform for commercial oat breeding (SeqSNP), while syntenic comparisons are being used to identify candidate domestication genes in collaboration with UP Lublin, Poland. Diversity studies initiated in the genomics programme have been expanded in a GCRF project to identify agronomically useful variation in landraces and wild material in collaboration with partners in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Georgia, Cyprus and Armania. The combined collaborations are strengthening public good oat breeding efforts internationally, which have been further helped by holding international workshops sponsored by the BBSRC Other Partners award, and by hosting study visits from Turkish, Japanese and Polish colleagues (Newton and local funding). |

| Title | Annotation pipeline for Avena genomes |
| Description | A curated coding gene database has been developed to allow rapid high quality annotation of Avena genome assemblies. The database was developed from the BBSRC funded Avena byzantina genome assembly using a GeMoMa pipeline dependent on IBERS Avena transcriptome resources and publically available heterologous cereal peptide predictions. The optimised pipeline run on the Welsh SuperComputing facility allowed annotation of the A. sativa hexaploid genome released in summer 2020 by PepsiCo to ~99% completeness within a week (BUSCO statistic, C:98.6% [S:3.8%,D:94.8%],F:0.7%,M:0.7%,n:1440, where 1253 gene annotations were present as three copies). |

| Impact | Annotation and comparison of red and white oat accessions representing two major lineages of cultivated hexaploid oat (publications in prep). |
| Title | Exome capture design for oats |
| Description | An exome capture array, targetting 70% of the gene complement, was designed by our partners at AAFC Ottawa, using a variety of transcriptome resources aligned to the IBERS Avena atlantica genome contigs. The Ottawa lab has captured genic sequences from a range of Avena species, both diploid and polyploid, and will use the data to clarify relationships between species. Genic sequences have been recovered for 24 IBERS hexaploid accessions, including NAM population parents and key wild or weedy oat relatives. The combined data will be used to refine the capture design, which may then be deployed to look in more detail at patterns of diversity and targets of selection during adaptation and domestication in panels of cultivars, landraces and wild relatives. |

| Title | Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population for spring oats |
| Description | Fourteen diverse hexaploid cultivars were crossed with the widely used European spring oat cultivar Firth. 650 lines were derived by single seed descent and advanced generations (F8 on) grown for three years at Aberystwyth and one year in Lublin, Poland (collaboration with Dr Edyta Paczos-Grzeda). RNAseq of developing grain was carried out for all parents. Seed and DNA were saved for the F4 generation of all lines, allowing lines heterozygous for alleles of interest to be identified and used to produce HIFs (contrasting alleles in near identical genetic backgrounds). Exome capture with the Ottawa diploid-based design was carried out on all parents, with skim sequencing and FISHIS libraries of the common parent.. |

| Impact | A consensus map is being created. Candidate gene mapping has identified a candidate for the N1 (naked) gene (collaboration with the Tinker lab, Ottawa). |
| Title | Diploid Oat Zipper |
| Description | An assembly of sequencing contigs representing >94% of the gene content of a diploid wild relative of oat (Avena atlantica), and mapped using a combination of methods in a population of A, atlantica and a historical cultivar, A. strigosa. The mapped contigs have an N50 of approximately 20kb. Coding genes have been annotated using a variety of ab initio, comparative and transcriptome based methods. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2014 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Candidate genes for a range of agronomic traits have been identified using a 'shuttle' approach based on anonymous genetic markers identified by mapping in hexaploid oat populations, which are used to identfy linked genes withrelevant predicted function or expression patterns, followed by validation in hexaploid material. |

| Title | Diversity panel GbS |
| Description | A collection of diverse cultivar, landrace and wild relative accessions for oats, with associated genotyping-by-sequence (GbS) data, of relevance to DAC breeding programmes. The collection includes accessions provided by breeding programmes in Turkey, Kazakhstan and Morocco, and collected on joint expeditions in Georgia and Armenia with representatives of the respective national botanic gardens. The collection is regularly expanded and will be made publically available following completion of the data analysis. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2017 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | GbS data has helped identify lineages of wild oats likely to have provided the early progenitors of the two main types of cultivated oat (A. sativa or white oat, and A. byzantina or red oat). Landrace comparisons are identifying variation lost during modern breeding bottlenecks. The information is being used to select the most informative lines to be used for fundamental research (exome capture) and field trials in DAC sites (Turkey, Kazakhstan). |
| Title | Hexaploid oat sorted chromosome sequence assemblies |
| Description | Oat chromosomes have been sorted by Prof Sergio Lucretti and colleagues at ENEA, Rome, using their FISHIS approach, then amplified by genomiPhi approach and sequenced on an Illumina platform at IBERS. The resulting chromosome fraction sequences largely contain single orthologs, avoiding the collapse of assemblies into chimeric contigs that typically results from whole genome shotgun sequencing of polyploids containing closely related sub-genomes. The assemblies allow discrimination of orthologs and facilitate development of markers for agronomic traiits and candidate gene validation. |
