The book is based on the author's life time experience in exploring and researching the genus
Avena. It describes some great events in oat research and minor stories along the way. It will
be of interest and value to all those working with oats and to students and scientists of crop
evolution  including those dealing with collecting and conserving wild genetic resources. A
first part deals with the morphology and taxonomy of the genus and a classification based on
the biological species concept is presented. A further part is devoted to the author's research
accomplishments in this genus. It describes morphological characters distinguishing between
diploids and tetraploids of series Eubarbatae  the genetic relationships between them  and the
mode of origin of the tetraploid form. The section Denticulatae  to which the common oat
belongs  is extensively treated. Further  oat domestication and the newly domesticated protein
