Oat (Avena sativa) is a strategic crop for both Swedish agriculture and food industry. It has a great nutritional value and serves as an excellent raw material in a world where the demands for plant-based foods and functional food products are rapidly increasing. Oat contains a number of unique bioactive components with documented beneficial effects for human and animal health. On top of this, oat has excellent agricultural properties for Swedish settings and is very well suited for organic farming as well as sustainable intensified production. However, to develop oats both in terms of cultivation and food applications more resources to fundamental and targeted applied research are needed. To accomplish this we establish an industrial research center, ScanOats.With this center, we will coordinate industrial needs with academic research in molecular plant breeding, plant physiology, crop management/production, and nutrition and food science. Three key players in the food industry (Lantmännen, Oatly and Swedish Oat Fiber) together with three interdisciplinary academic partners (Lund University, SLU and RISE) will all support and develop ScanOats. The companies are joining the center with resources, scientific and market competences, framing of questions and expertise, to create a common academic-industrial structure. Together, an international state of the art research and developmental environment for plant, food and health connected to oat will be formed. ScanOats is unique in its concept to link plant breeding and cultivation with targeted health effects. This will foster entrepreneurship and industrial expansion on the basis of obtained scientific discoveries.Info: ScanOats.com

Crop Tailor is a privately owned Swedish biotech company, develops oat with unique properties significantly faster and with a much higher precision than traditional breeding due to unique technology. CropTailor owns a unique population of 2600 mutated oat lines with high variation in properties such as, for example, resistance towards the widespread Fusarium fungus, increased or improved β-glucan-, antioxidant-, lignin-, phytosterol-, sa- ponin-, di-galactolipid and protein levels. Crop Tailor is alone in the world having a mutagenized population of oats. This population is derived from chemical modification of the oat genome. The process is referred to as ”mutagenesis”. Looking collectively at the whole population there are hundreds of mutations in every individual gene, adding up to an excess of 2 billion mutations in a total population of 2600 lines. The Company has also developed novel high precision small scale selection procedures based on advanced biochemistry, analytical chemistry and molecular biology, enabling the researchers to screen this large population of oat lines for the desired properties.
