  • What determines oil content and fatty acid composition of oilseed flax?
  • The present study showed that the oil content and fatty acid compositions of oilseed flax genotypes grown in Northwest and North China were determined by G, E, and the interactions between G and E. Significant variation was observed for the oil content and fatty acid components of oilseed collected from Six Research Stations.
  • What fatty acids are in flaxseed oil?
  • Flaxseed oil is low in saturated fatty acids, moderate in monounsaturated fatty acids, and rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid (Cunnane et al., 1993). Specifically, it consists of 9% of PAL and STE, 18% of OLE, and 73% of LIO and LIN. Flaxseed or flaxseed oil has been incorporated in various food products (Goyal et al., 2014).
  • Does genotype influence fatty acid composition in flaxseed?
  • Zhang documented the strong influence of interaction of genotypes and ecological environments on fatty acid composition in flaxseed from China (Zhang et al., 2016). Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) of 224 flaxseed fatty acid content suggested that 16 SNP loci were significantly associated with seed fatty acid oil content (Xie et al., 2019).
  • What affects oil content and yield of flax seed?
  • Oil content and yield ± standard error of flax seed as affected by the effects of environment, phosphorus rate, and seeding rate. Within a column for a given effect, means with different letters are significantly different at P <  0.05 according to Duncan’s test.
  • How much oil is in flax seed?
  • Seed oil content was different among environments ( Table 3 ). On average, oil content ranged from 37 to 40 % among environments, with the lowest oil content in BY2014 and the highest oil content in Ula2015 ( Table 5 ). Growing E also significantly affected oil yield of flax seed ( Table 3 and 5).
