Efter många års arbete har forskare vid bland annat LTH kartlagt och karakteriserat havrens hela genuppsättning. Det ger stora möjligheter att förädla fram havre som har ännu bättre näringsinnehåll, är mer hälsosamt eller kan odlas på ett mer miljömässigt hållbart sätt. Detaljerade genanalyser stärker också bevisen för att havre är säker i glutenfri kost. Resultaten publiceras nu i Nature. Det omf
