Low Linolenic

In Poland the cultivation of the fibrous form of flax (<em>Linum usitatissimum </em>L.) is dying out, but the acreage of its oilseed form, linseed, which provides seed (<em>Semen lini) </em>used in therapy and being a source of -linolenic acid, is expanding. Nowadays, linseed is grown in 64 countries of the world, but yield levels in these countries vary greatly. Under European conditions, seed yield of linseed shows high variation, which is evidence of little knowledge of the biology of this plant and the lack of precise cultivation solutions in agricultural technologies used. A major reason is the difficulty in obtaining optimal crop density. A sparse crop results in low above-ground biomass yield, which is translated into insufficient crop yields. The selection of highly productive domestic and foreign varieties can partially increase linseed yield; apart from some domestic varieties, the Canadian cultivar 'Flanders' and the Hungarian cultivar 'Barbara' are positive examples in this respect. There is a possibility of effective selection at early stages of linseed breeding, which bodes well for the prospect of obtaining highly productive varieties with normal or very low -linolenic acid content.

McGregor flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) seed was treated with ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) and the resulting M1, M2, M3 and M4 progeny were screened for linolenic acid mutants, using the half-seed technique. A stable low-linolenic acid (2%) mutant was found in the M4. The low linolenic character is controlled by recessive alleles at two independent loci, apparently the result of a rare double mutation.

Linola™ '947' flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) was the first low linolenic flax cultivar registered in 1993 in Canada. It had very good lodging resistance, was late maturing and produced seed with a very high oil content. In western Canada, '947' had yield similar to McGregor, its recurrent backcross parent. '947' has a yellow seedcoat. Key words: Flax, low linolenic acid, cultivar description

Changes occurring in stored solin/flax cultivars over 6 mo at temperatures ranging from 10 to 35 °C and moisture contents of 8.0, 9.5, 11.0 and 12.5% were observed. The cultivars were NorLin, McGregor, FP1001 (high linolenic acid), LinolaTM 947 (solin) and LinolaTM 989 (solin). Oil composition in all cultivars changed only slightly over 6 mo with a significant increase in palmitic acid. Doubling of free fatty acid levels was considered an indicator of quality deterioration. The deterioration occurred in 6 mo at 8% MC and 20 °C in FP1001 and in NorLin, McGregor, and LinolaTM 947 at 25 °C; LinolaTM 989 could be stored at 30 °C. LinolaTM 989 could be safely stored at moderately higher temperatures at a given moisture level than LinolaTM 947. Visible mold with corresponding germination loss was usually associated with Aspergillus glaucus group infection. Stored-product insects that could survive and develop on the solin/flax were the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), the confused flour beetle, T. confusum J. du Val, the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) and the merchant grain beetle, O. mercator (Fauvel).In general, LinolaTM 947 and FP1001 were slightly more difficult to store than the other cultivars but there was no consistent difference between solin and flaxseed.

Mutant Genes

Two flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) mutants having reduced linolenic acid content in their seed oil (M1589 = 19.1% linolenic; M1722 = 23.4% linolenic) were crossed to determine whether further reductions could be achieved by recombination of the mutant genes. Extensive transgressive segregation was evident in the F2 for both linolenic acid (1.2–36.6%) and linoleic acid (14.7–55.2%), which were strongly negatively correlated (r = −0.97). F2 plants homozygous for both the M1589 and M1722 mutations had very low levels of linolenic acid (<2%) and high levels of linoleic acid (>46%).Key words: Flax, linseed, Linum usitatissimum, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, seed oil

They were shifting in land use increases salinity stress, significant abiotic stress affecting plant growth, limiting crop productivity. This work aimed to improve Linum usitatissimum L. (linseed) growth under salinity using Comamonas testosteroni and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs were fabricated exploiting Rosmarinus officinalis and monitored by U.V./Vis spectrophotometry scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Photosynthetic pigments, enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants of linseed were investigated under salt stress in treated and untreated plants with C. testosteroni alongside AgNPs. Our findings recorded the formation of AgNPs at 457 nm, which were globular and with a diameter of 75 nm. Notably, chlorophyll-a, b, and total chlorophyll reduction while enhanced carotenoids and anthocyanin contents were attained under salinity stress. Total dissoluble sugars, proline, and dissoluble proteins, H2O2, malondialdehyde, enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants were significantly elevated in NaCl well. Combined AgNPs and C. testosteroni elevated photosynthetic pigments. Also, they led to the mounting of soluble sugars, proline, and soluble proteins. H2O2 and malondialdehyde decreased while enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants increased in response to AgNPs, C. testosteroni, and their combination. Thus, AgNPs and C. testosteroni might bio-fertilizers to improve linseed crop productivity under salinity stress.

The aim of this study was on the basis of the field experiment in two different agroclimatic localities, two planting options (low and high input) and during three years find out the seed yield, seed oil content and composition of fatty acid in linseed oil (Linum usitatissimum L.), variety Lola (LinolaTM). By the help of standard laboratory analyses for paint parameter evaluation judge suitability of using the oil for painting industry. Linseed yield varied from 0.29 t.ha–1 to 2.35 t.ha–1. Statistical significant differences (P = 0.01) were found out for localities, years and planting options. Average seed oil content varied from 36.6% to 44.0%. Influence of locality was not significant, influence of year and planting option to seed oil content was highly significant (P = 0.01). Content of linoleic acid in oil was influenced mainly by locality and planting option and varied from 75.86% to 76.78%. Laboratory painting-technological evaluation of oils and alkyd resin experimental sample made for suitability of using low linolenic oil of linseed, variety Lola for production of non-yellowing alkyds and enamels.

Summary Introduction: Polish oilseed and flaxseed collection is a source of genotypes containing very high amounts of α-linolenic acid. Objective: The objective of the study is to test the seeds for the fat content and fatty acids composition in the oil pressed from the 9 tested accessions of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.). Our goal is to promote the Polish flax collection, which seeds are unique as one of the richest sources of α-linolenic acid. Methods: Assays to determine the content of fat and fatty acids composition in linseed oil were performed at the IHAR-PIB Biochemical Laboratory in Poznań. The fat content was determined by infrared analysis (calibration performed on the basis of seed sample at IHAR-PIB in Poznań) by means of a NIRS 6500 spectrophotometer with a reflection detector within the range of 400-2500 nm. The composition of fatty acids was determined by means of a method proposed by Byczyńska and Krzymański (1969), based on gas chromatography of methyl esters of fatty acids contained in linseed oil. The following varieties of flax were investigated: Tabare (INF00111), Szegedi 30 (INF00427), Olin (INF 00444), Redwood 65 (INF00523), Dufferin (INF00540), AC Mc Duff (INF00648), Alfonso Inta (INF00683), Olinette (INF00687), Royale (INF00689). Results: The content of α-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3) in evaluated genotypes of flax ranged from 48.9 (Royale) to 59.9% (Alfonso Inta). Content of linoleic acid (LA, C18:2) in evaluated genotypes of flax ranged from 12.4 (Tabare) to 17.1% (AC Mc Duff). The content of oleic acid (OA, C18:1) of 9 accession of flax ranged from 17.1 (Alfonso Inta) to 26.7% (Royale). The content of stearic acid in evaluated genotypes of flax ranged from 2.3 (Alfonso Inta) to 5.0% (Tabare, Szegedi 30) and the content of palmitic acid ranged from 4.7 (Dufferin) to 6.0% (Olin). The content of fat ranged from 42.7 (Olin) to 52.0% (AC Mc Duff). The fatty acid ratio n-6/n-3 ranged from 0.23/1 (Tabare) to 0.32/1 (AC Mc Duff).
