Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety known as Stormont Cirrus is a line of Linum usitatissimum that has gained wide application in genetics. Unlike commercial varieties for mass production, this subject is used primarily as a model system for studying mechanisms of heredity.

A key characteristic of this line is its genetic plasticity. It serves as a reference example in studies of environmentally induced variability, allowing scientists to observe the influence of the environment on DNA structure, transposon activity, and other genetic markers.

Data on agronomic traits, such as yield, lodging resistance, or commercial fiber and oil quality, are absent for this variety, as it is not intended for commercial agro-industrial cultivation.
