The world germplasm collection of the genus Avena contains about 130,000 accessions, of which more than half are cultivated forms. Collection and sharing of passport data and phenotypic traits is carried out by most gene banks. However, genetic data for the stored accessions are rarely collected and provided. We present a composite data set consisting of passport data, description of agro-morphological traits, and genotypic data for 54 accessions preserved in the Polish gene bank. All accessions are unique landraces collected during expeditions in Poland. Phenotypic data were obtained from a minimum of 3 years of field trials. Genotypic data resulted from Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers analysis. The data set was supplemented with meteorological data from a meteorological station located no more than 2 km in a straight line from the experimental plots. This data set can be used in meta-analyzes of germplasm collection diversity data. These data can be valuable to researchers and breeders looking for new sources of variation. The data were used in the research article "Promoting the Use of Common Oat Genetic Resources through Diversity Analysis and Core Collection Construction" [1].
