Variety traits

Protein content — hulless oats

Avena nuda L.

Crude protein content in hulless oat grain varies from 14% to 22%, which exceeds the values of hulled forms by 1.9–3.5%. The trait is polygenic and shows a pronounced negative correlation with grain yield and starch content.

In the reference 25 varieties crop Naked oat, where this is mentioned in the description.

Protein content in hulless oats is a key biochemical indicator that determines its high nutritional value. This trait is strongly influenced by meteorological factors, soil type, preceding crops, and the application of nitrogen fertilizers.

In breeding programs, a strong negative correlation has been established between protein accumulation and yield, as well as starch content. The priority of breeding for food purposes is to increase the protein component and β-glucans, with hulless oats standing out for their favorable amino acid profile with increased levels of lysine, methionine, and cysteine.
