Here we present a high-quality reference genome of A. However, the lack of a fully annotated reference genome has hampered efforts to deconvolute its complex evolutionary history and functional gene dynamics. Oat has a low carbon footprint, substantial health benefits and the potential to replace animal-based food products. Nature volume 606, pages 113–119 ( 2022) Cite this articleĬultivated oat ( Avena sativa L.) is an allohexaploid (AACCDD, 2 n = 6 x = 42) thought to have been domesticated more than 3,000 years ago while growing as a weed in wheat, emmer and barley fields in Anatolia 1, 2. The mosaic oat genome gives insights into a uniquely healthy cereal crop
