Variety traits
Linum usitatissimum L.
The oil content of flax is an indicator of the mass fraction of crude fat in seeds, expressed as a percentage of absolute dry matter. It is a key quality criterion for the industrial value of the crop and an important objective in breeding programs.
In the reference 68 varieties crop Common flax, where this is mentioned in the description.
Typical oil content values in oilseed flax seeds range from 38–45%. Modern breeding achievements make it possible to obtain varieties with levels of 50% or higher, whereas values below 38% are considered low for specialized oilseed types.
This trait is determined by the genetic characteristics of the variety, but is subject to the influence of environmental conditions and agronomic practices. Excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers, as well as adverse weather conditions during the ripening period, such as drought or excessive rainfall, can lead to a decrease in seed oil content.
