Variety traits
Linum usitatissimum L.
The 1000-seed weight is a key indicator of flax seed plumpness, determining its sowing quality and potential yield.
In the reference 46 varieties crop Common flax, where this is mentioned in the description.
For oilseed flax, the range of 1000-seed weight is from 3.5 to 15 grams. The indicator is highly determined by the variety genotype, which accounts for up to 87.9% of the trait variability, while field values have been recorded from 4.23 to 9.10 grams.
This parameter serves as a basis for calculating the seeding rate by weight, which is necessary to achieve optimal plant stand density. Heavier seeds with a larger supply of nutrients possess higher germination energy and ensure the development of a vigorous root system, while an increase in 1000-seed weight by 1 gram can increase biological yield by 0.3–0.4 t/ha.
