Figure 3.6.The pedigree of an oat variety named “Goslin.” The parents of the cross from which
Goslin was selected are shown on the left in column 1, grandparents and great-grandparents are
shown in columns 2 and 3, and so on. Lines identified by numbers (e.g., OA952-3) were probably
elite breeding lines that did not become varieties. This pedigree tree was drawn using an online
database (http://avena.agr.gc.ca) that records pedigrees of historical oat varieties for many
generations.
