  1. Phenotypic Characterization of a Mapping Population of Flax, World Flax Collection and Flax Cooperative Trials in Different Agro-ecological Locations in Western Canada Dr. Scott Duguid Morden Research Station

  2. Genetic Characterization and Genetic Improvement of Fibre Yield in Flax Overall Goal This project entails the identification and characterization of genes and genetic mechanisms involved in the production of fibre yield in flax, along with related NIR analytic tools, and the use of this knowledge to breed flax with higher fibre yields. Objectives To evaluate germplasm from world collection(s) of common flax and related species for fibre content; To identify high fibre parents, lines and breeding populations; To develop flax population(s) and characterize them at the phenotypic and genotypic levels for agronomic and straw characteristics; To develop NIR diagnostic tools to assist in achieving long term breeding objectives; and To develop molecular tools to assist in achieving long term breeding objectives.
