Why Breed High Seed Yield and High Oil Quality Flax?

Flax is an annual bast fiber and oil crop of linum in the Linaceae family. Flax not only has the characteristics of drought tolerance, cold tolerance, barren tolerance and wide adaptability, but also has the advantages of low investment, high product value, wide use and remarkable planting benefits in industrial production. In addition, linseed oil has important functions of medicine, nutrition and health care. Therefore, breeding new flax varieties with high yield, high quality and wide adaptability will not only increase farmers' income, but also have a good application prospect. With the rapid development of molecular biology and plant genetic engineering, using biotechnology to improve the agronomic traits of flax can cultivate new varieties with high yield and high oil.

Breeding Services for High Seed Yield and High Oil Quality Flax

More high seed yield and high oil quality genes in flax can be identified by molecular biology techniques, which promotes molecular breeding of flax. Lifeasible provides several strategies to accelerate the breeding process of flax for high yield and high oil quality.

  • Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS)

We provide a platform for GWAS analysis to fully reveal the genetic genes of high seed yield and high oil quality flax through genome-wide high-density genetic marker typing of large population DNA samples.

  • Sequencing-based Breeding

We provide high throughput sequencing technology platform, including DNA level sequencing, RNA level sequencing, single cell level sequencing, epigenetic level sequencing, etc. Through high throughput sequencing, more genes related to high yield and high oil content of flax were discovered, which is conducive to understanding the genetic mechanism of high yield and high oil content of flax.

  • Plant Gene Editing with CRISPR / Cas9

CRISPR/Cas9 is a newly emerged technology for editing targeted genes by Cas9 nucleases directed by RNA. Genes related to high yield and high oil yield in flax were modified by gene editing technology to obtain a broad spectrum and lasting high yield and high oil yield.
