The overall objective of OatLINK was to incorporate important traits underlying sustainable development of the oat crop through combining ‘conventional’ phenotypic selection with molecular marker technologies.
QUOATS was a five-year research project dedicated to developing and applying advanced genomic and metabolomic tools for the genetic improvement of oats.
The AFENO project investigated high-oil naked oats for enhanced poultry rations, offering an economic break crop for growers and environmental benefits.
The OATEC project centres on the technological advancements in oat fractionation, targeting new markets in functional food and industry, and leveraging the UK’s lead in high-oil naked oat breeding.
The ABIPO project aimed to enhance the utilisation and value of the unique phenolic antioxidants and oil found in UK oats, thereby opening up new, non-food markets for oat growers.
