Test weight is a measure of grain quality and market value of oat (Avena sativa L,). This study was conducted to evaluate the degree of genetic variability for, and to assess the feasibility of, breeding oats with Increased test weight. Variance components and heritability of test weight were estimated by evaluating 50 random Fg g lines from each of 13 biparental matlngs. Evaluations were conducted in a trial with four replications at each of three locations in Iowa. Significant genetic variance (P |
