Avena byzantina, red oats, is a species of cultivated oat in the family Poaceae . [2] It is native to Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, the Transcaucasus, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Cultivated for thousands of years, it is better suited to warmer conditions than white or common oats ( Avena sativa ), but is often sown as a no‑till winter crop. There are 564 landraces and 203 cultivars of red oats listed in the European Plant Genetic Resources Search Catalogue (EURISCO). [3] Approximately 10% of the millions of hectares worldwide under oats are devoted to red oats, principally for fodder. [4]
