Germination of flax seeds (<em>Linum usitatissimum</em> L., cv. Szafir) at 5<sup>o</sup>C was enhanced by continuous white light, gibberellin A3 (GA3), kinetin and benzylaminopurine. GA<sub>3</sub> and kinetin at physiological concentrations (10<sup>-8</sup>-10<sup>-6</sup> M) improved significantly germination in darkness. Stimulatory effect of benzylaminopurine was visible only in the light. Almost no effect of zeatin and isopentenyladenine (2iP) on germination was observed. Possible causes of this differences were suggested.

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), grown throughout the world for millennia. It is a multipurpose agricultural crop that can provide food, fuel and fibre. An agro-morphological characterization based on 13 traits of 26 flax accessions was carried out during the Rabi season 2017-2018 at the Agricultural Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Rangpur. The field experiment was laid out in a randomized completed block design having four replications. Flax seeds were sown in 3.0 m × 0.6 m plot with continuous line sowing (two lines). The seed germination (%) and vigour indices of all flax accessions varied from 44.1 – 77.7 and 44.1 – 119.4, respectively. A significant variation in all growth and yield attributing descriptors was observed except 1000-seed weight of flax. Among the accessions, BD-10708 possessed the highest seed yield (182.9 g plant–1) and yield attributing descriptors viz., number of capsules plant–1 (142) and seeds plant–1 (513) of flax. The performance of the local accesson Ulipur was observed poor compared to some of the test accessions of flax. Some of these flax accessions could be used as breeding materials in varietal developmental and improvement programmes with higher yield potentials of flax in Bangladesh.

The objective of this study was to determine species-associated differences in the seed proximate and fatty acid composition of three traditional oil crop species, hemp (Cannabis sativa), flax (Linum usitatissimum), and camelina (Camelina sativa), and the sowing season of camelina harvested under Lithuanian farming conditions for food use. Camelina seeds had the highest (p < 0.001) content of protein, oil, and sugar contents compared to both dehulled hemp and flax seeds. The amounts of protein and oil in camelina seeds were considerably increased by their summer cultivar, which showed higher (p < 0.001) contents of protein and oil than winter cultivars. However, the highest and lowest (p < 0.001) fiber content was found in flax seeds and camelina seeds, respectively. Camelina seeds showed considerably higher and lower (p < 0.001) proportions of total monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids, respectively, compared with hemp and flax. The summer cultivar of camelina had higher (p < 0.001) proportions of saturated (SFA) and MUFA and lower proportions of PUFA compared with winter cultivars. Hemp seeds had the highest and lowest (p < 0.001) proportions of PUFA and MUFA, respectively. The n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio in hemp seeds is optimal (3.79), whereas the use of flax and camelina seeds with their n-6/n-3 ratios of 0.28 and 0.48, respectively, can significantly improve this ratio in the overall diet. The properties of oil crop seeds showed that whole seeds of hemp, flax, and camelina are potentially highly beneficial to human health.

In the comparative variety testing it was evaluated promising material of fiber-flax (Linum usitatissimum L.). The aim of the work was to identify the most valuable cultivar fiber-flax according to their  economic and biological characteristics, and adaptability to adverse environmental factors.  Valuable forms of fiber-flax on the main economically significant features were identified in the Smolensk region. The total length of the stem of A-11 and L-198 exceeded the standard S-108 by 8 - 10%. The duaration of the growing season in all studied varieties was 5 days longer than that of the standard variety.   L-198 exceeded the standard S-108, both in yield of flax straw and fiber content in the stem, the excess was 9 and 3%, respectively. The highest yield of flax seeds (0,58 t/ha) was also in L-198 (21% higher than in the standard). The yield of long fiber in the stem of this sample was 20,1%, which is 0,8% higher compared to the standard. The calculation of the economic efficiency of cultivation of the L-198 variety for fiber-flax seeds also showed its advantage over the S-108 standard.
