Barley	BarleyWorld. This site is an evolving gateway to resources on a most amazing plant – barley – provided by the Oregon State University Barley Project.
Bio-based Products	ODA-OSU Oilseed Project. The ODA-OSU oilseeds project has been funded by the Oregon Legislature to quickly gather information about oilseed crops that can potentially be grown in the Willamette Valley for use in bioproducts production.
Cereals	Applied Cereal Genomics. Established to complement existing genetics and breeding activities. Our research efforts focus on understanding the genetic basis of traits of agronomic relevance and the application of genomics for the improvement of wheat and other cereals. One broad area of interest includes quantitative trait mapping to genetically dissect agronomically important traits and to identify DNA-based markers that may be used for indirect selection of these traits. Other areas of interest include the genetic analysis of major genes involved in the domestication of wheat; the development of plant radiation hybrid mapping panels to facilitate the development of chromosome-based physical maps of cereals; and the study gene flow between wheat and its weedy relative jointed goatgrass.
Forages	Forage Information System. The Forage Information System is a comprehensive resource for forage-related topics, including Extension, research, and teaching information.
Grains	Oregon Grain and Seed Crops Multimedia Resource. This web page contains seed pictures of crops commonly grown in the state of Oregon. It’s main purpose is to aid users in learning the distinguishing features of these crop seeds for identification contests held in various youth and young adult programs (4H, Future Farmer of America, etc.), but it also is a general guide to Orgeon field crops.
Hops	Hop Genetics. The web home of the USDA-ARS Hop Genetic Research Program. This site describes the ongoing research on hops Humulus lupulus L.
Potatoes	Potatoes at Oregon State University. A comprehensive list of research and extension potato programs administered through OSU.
Seeds	Integrative Seed Biology is our seed biology program in the Department of Crop and Soil Science at Oregon State University. The program consists of research and learning activities on plant seeds. This website introduces you our research projects and useful information on seeds.
Weeds	Dryland Weeds Research. The Columbia Basin Agriculture Research Center is involved in developing Integrated Weed Management Systems for Eastern Oregon Dryland Crops.
	Herbicide Company "Genealogy"
	Weed Program
Wheat	Wheat Breeding, Genetics & Quality Program. The history of wheat is the history of our civilization. Prior to the domestication of wheat and other cereal grains some 10,000 years ago, people were hunters and food gatherers living a nomadic existence. When it was discovered that certain plants produced edible seed that could be replanted to achieve a more stable food supply, a civilization and a culture emerged. With fewer people required to provide food, others were free to devote their energies to developing the arts and sciences.
