USDA Agricultural Research Service and university scientists released two new oat germplasm lines with resistance to crown rust. The lines are meant to be crossed with commercial varieties to add durable resistance.
Crown rust can cause grain losses of up to 50% in unprotected crops.
Improved crown rust resistance could reduce future yield losses in oats over time. The near-term price impact is minimal because the lines are for breeding programs.
