Protocol
Six oat cultivars representing four levels of pigmentation were used in eight crosses to determine the inheritance of the red seedling trait. The parents used were: Ogle (C.I. 9401)(green pigmentation); Astro (C.I. 9160)(light red); Salem (C.I. 9204) and TAM O-301 CIav9198 (C.I. 9198 (red); and Chilocco (C.I. 8311) and Brooks (C.I. 9260)(Dark red). The pigment levels in the cultivar collection and F`2` plants were determined 2 days after seedling emergence using a visual score of 0 to 5, with 0 = green and 5 = dark red. Prior to analysis, visual scores were summarized into three classes: dark red (scores 4 and 5), red to light red (scores 1 to 3), and green (score 0). Pigmentation levels in F`2` seedlings in four classes were also measured by extracting the pigment and measuring the extracts' optical absorbance at a specified wavelength. The top 2 cm of the plumule (with coleoptile sheath removed) was sampled 2 days after emergence when the plumule had elongated 2 to 3 cm above the soil.
Values
0 = green seedling 5 = dark red
