Why Breed Stress-resistant Flax?

Flax is one of the three major fiber and oil crops in the world today. The cultivated flax is mainly used for linseed oil and flax fiber. Flax fiber is soft, lustrous, and flexible, and is an important raw material for the textile industry. Linseed oil is a kind of high quality edible oil. As a nutrition and health product, it has broad planting efficiency and market prospects. Therefore, flax is a kind of multipurpose crop with high comprehensive development value. At present, the flax varieties have some defects, such as low yield, poor lodging resistance, drought resistance and low temperature resistance. With the rapid development of molecular biology and plant genetic engineering, using biotechnology to improve the resistance traits of flax can breed new varieties with high quality, resistance and wide adaptability.

Breeding Services for Stress-resistant Flax

Lifeasible supports flax breeding researches through several services to increase the resistance of flax to abiotic stresses.

  • Plant Stress Response Indicators Analysis

Plants protect themselves from environmental degradation by sensing environmental changes and responding to stress. We established a plant stress response index analysis platform, which can conduct detailed analysis of plant stress response, including the determination of seed character, plant character, yield traits, chlorophyll content and osmotic regulatory substance content.

  • Resequencing of Strains with Good Agronomic Characters

Some strains or flax with good characters may be rich in good characters or germplasm resources required by breeders. By comparing and analyzing the genome sequence of these materials, breeders can identify the variation in the whole gene range between different strains, which can provide reference for the subsequent breeding work.

  • Molecular Biology Research
    • Introduction of exogenous DNA technology by pollen-tube pathway: This technology is an effective means for the improvement of flax varieties and the cultivation of new varieties.
    • Genetic transformation of flax: Transgenic flax plants were obtained by agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
    • Molecular marker-assisted screening technology: Screening molecular markers related to resistance and constructing molecular marker maps to characterize genetic diversity.
