Summary
The effect of temperature on the expression of the naked grain character in oats was studied in a growth room experiment which compared eight naked oat genotypes grown at temperatures of 15, 20 and 25°C. Expression of grain nakedness and temperature level were positively associated and a genotype x temperature interaction was shown.
