PROBLEMS OF OAT BREEDING FOR FOOD PURPOSES

The aim of the study was to study the adaptability of oats under the conditions of Yenisei Siberia by the total content of antioxidants (TCA) and to identify the relationship of one with the mass of 1000 grains. Five samples of spring oats grown in three different ecological sites located in the forest-steppe zone of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republic of Khakassia and Tuva were studied. To assess the adaptability of oat samples, a ranking method based on the level of these indicators was used. It was found that the variability of the TSA value in the grain of the samples was determined to the greatest extent (60.56%) by the genotype. The Argument variety was distinguished by the smallest amount of plasticity and the highest stability value in terms of the content of antioxidants in grain among the hasky samples of oats.
