Why Breed Flax with High Fiber Content and High Straw Strength?

The fiber type flax is mainly harvested fiber, and its fiber has the characteristics of high strength, soft color, good moisture absorption, strong air permeability, antistatic, antiseptic and antibacterial, etc. It has been found that flax fiber has antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and yeast. Linen woven with linen fiber is static-free, dust-free, antibacterial, and environmentally friendly. Therefore, flax has high exploitation and utilization value in raw material processing industry and textile industry. In order to breed new flax varieties with high fiber content, high straw strength, high quality and suitable for planting in many areas, and to promote the development of raw material processing and textile industry, the utilization of biotechnology to improve the agronomic characters of flax has become the key to cultivate new flax plants.

Breeding Services for Flax with High Fiber Content and High Straw Strength

Breeding flax with high fiber and straw strength is one of the goals of flax breeding. The further development of biotechnology provides a new idea for the innovation of flax germplasm resources and promotes the research of flax breeding. Lifeasible provides several strategies to accelerate breeding process of flax with high fiber content and high straw strength.

  • eQTL Analysis

We can provide an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis platform to study the correlation between genetic mutation and gene expression by taking gene expression as a trait.

  • Sequencing-based Breeding

Through DNA level sequencing, RNA level sequencing, single cell level sequencing, epigenetic level sequencing, proteomics and metabolomics analysis, to understand the genetic mechanism of high fiber and straw in flax.
