Abstract: The forage oat species, Avena sativa (hexaploid 2n=2X=42), A. strigosa and A. brevis (diploid 2n=2x=14), are excellent for animal consumption presenting high nutritional quality and good adaptability to infertile soils. They present pasture production in the period of greatest forage deficit in southern Brazil and in Latin America regions such as the temperate areas of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile, in addition to the higher altitude areas in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. The objective of the study was to verify the molecular polymorphism between different cultivars using microsatellite markers, since they access information directly in the DNA and have been used to support genetic breeding programs. The cultivars A. sativa Fundacep FAPA 43, Fronteira, URS Flete, FAPA2; A. strigosa GMX Bagual, GMX Picasso, Agro Quarai, IPR Cabocla, Agro Esteio and A. brevis, Centauro, Madrugada were analysed, testing 50 specific microsatellites for the genus Avena. Of these, 38 showed amplification, 18 (47%) were polymorphic, 16 (42%) were monomorphic and 4 (11%) did not amplify fragments. Eleven alleles were identified, with two or three alleles per locus, and fragment sizes ranging from 100 to 350 bases pairs. Considering the Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) coefficient, the mean value was 0.47, representing a useful strategy to determine the dissimilarity and molecular polymorphism between the analyzed cultivars.
