History and prospects of flax genetic markers.

Flax ( L.) is known as a dual-purpose crop, producing both fiber and oil, which have a wide range of uses. Successful flax breeding requires knowledge on the genetic determinants of flax traits.

Identification and Analysis of , , , and Gene Families in .

(β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthases II), (fatty acid thioesterases), (stearoyl-ACP desaturase), and (fatty acid desaturases) are the vital gene families involved in fatty acid (FA) synthesis in L. However, information on the number and location of these genes and which ones are key to the formation of FAs in fruit seeds and pulp was not complete. Our study aimed to solve this issue using the available genomic sequences and transcriptome data that we obtained.

Nanopore Data-Driven Chromosome-Level Assembly of Flax Genome.

Flax is an important crop grown for seed and fiber. Flax chromosome number is 2n = 30, and its genome size is about 450-480 Mb. To date, the genomes of several flax varieties have been sequenced and assembled.

Nanopore Data-Driven T2T Genome Assemblies of Strains.

is a pathogenic fungus that infects flax and causes significant yield losses. In this study, we assembled the genomes of four highly virulent strains using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT, R10.4.
