The usefulness of short, single-row plots for preliminary agronomic evaluation of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) breeding materials was assessed by comparing 25 cultivars and breeding lines in 1.5-m rows and in conventional multiple-row plots at four western Canadian locations. Line means over locations for plant height, maturity date, and grain yield were highly correlated in the two plot sizes. Heritability of yield (the reference unit was the mean of a line in four, four-replicate trials) was 0.66 for the single-row plots and 0.70 for the multiple-row plots. Two-site selection in 1.5-m single rows was predicted to give greater gains than single-site selection in multiple-row plots.Key words: Linum usitatissimum, plot size, heritability, genotypic correlation, predictred gains

Three fibre flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivars, Hera, Natasja and Reina, and the oilseed cultivar Dufferin were tested at Hagen in 1977 and 1978 under rainfed conditions, and at Saskatoon in 1977 and Outlook in 1978 under irrigation. The tests included four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100 and 200 kg N/ha) and three seeding rates (50, 100 and 150 kg/ha). In addition, these four cultivars plus the fibre cultivar Budalak were evaluated under rainfed conditions at Saskatoon in 1977. In every test, except the Saskatoon rainfed, straw yields of the fibre cultivars were significantly greater than of Dufferin. Nitrogen fertilizer increased straw production and straw yields responded linearly to seed rate increases. Without exception, Dufferin had the greatest yield of seed and had approximately 3% higher oil content.

The aim of this study was determining the optimum plot size to evaluate the fresh matter of aerial part in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), in scenarios formed by combinations of numbers of treatments, number of repetitions, and precision levels. The fresh matter of aerial part was weighed on 144 basic experimental units of 1.00 m × 1.00 m in uniformity trial with size of 12 m × 12 m (144 m2). It was estimated the soil heterogeneity index of Smith (1938). Also, the optimum plot size was determined by the Hatheway’s method (1961) in scenarios formed by combinations of i treatments (i = 5, 10, 15, and 20), r repetitions (r = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 8, 9, and 10), and d precision levels (d = 10%, 12%, 14%, 16%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%, 36%, 38%, and 40%). In experiments planned on randomized block design, with 5 to 20 treatments and four repetitions, plots with 7 m2 are sufficient to identify significant differences between treatments regarding fresh matter of aerial part in flax, at 5% probability, of 34% of the experiment overall mean.

Acrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to separate anionic peroxidase isoenzymes in genotypes and genotrophs of flax. Activities and relative mobilities were measured directly from the separations on the gels.The effects of growth of one flax genotype in soil supplemented by either nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) or nitrogen and potassium (NK) on subsequent generations of its progeny produced by complete selfing were studied. Both activity and relative mobility of anionic peroxidase isoenzymes displayed effects of fertilizer treatments applied in previous generations. NPK increased the relative mobility of all isoenzymes, while depressing the activity of at least three of them. Successive generations of growth in NPK produced approximately linear increases in relative mobility. Such environmentally induced heritable changes were detectable five generations later.Two other flax genotypes were crossed, and relative mobility and activity of anionic peroxidase isoenzymes were examined in both parents and F2 progeny. Between parents, there were differences in relative mobility for two of the four isoenzymes; their F2 hybrids showed intermediate mobility for these particular isoenzymes. There were no differences between reciprocal F2 hybrids for mobility or activity of any isoenzyme. The parents differed in activity in all four isoenzymes; the F2 hybrids displayed dominance towards the lower activity parent for each of the isoenzymes.Total anionic isoenzyme activity was highly correlated with gross peroxidase activity measured prior to electrophoretic separation.

SummaryThe plasma tissue factor (TF) concentration was correlated to factor VII concentration (FVIIag) and factor VII activity (FVIIc) in 498 healthy volunteers ranging in age from 17 to 64 years. Immunoassays using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed for the determination of TF and FVIIag in plasma. The mAbs and the test systems were characterized. The mean value of the TF concentration was 172 ± 135 pg/ml. TF showed no age- and gender-related differences. For the total population, FVIIc, determined by a clotting test, was 110 ± 15% and the factor VIlag was 0.77 ± 0.19 μg/ml. FVII activity was significantly increased with age, whereas the concentration demonstrated no correlation to age in this population. FVII concentration is highly correlated with the activity as measured by clotting assay using rabbit thromboplastin. The ratio between FVIIc and FVIIag was not age-dependent, but demonstrated a significant difference between men and women. Between TF and FVII we could not detect a correlation.

Combining ability and heterosis were calculated for fourteen lines of linseed in a line × tester mating design using twelve lines and two diverse testers in two different environments. The hybrids and parental lines were raised in a completely randomized block design with three replications to investigate seed and fibre yield and their component traits. Genetic variation was significant for most of the traits over environments. Combining ability studies revealed that the lines KL-221 and LCK-9826 were good general combiners for seed yield and most of its components, whereas LMH-62 and LC-2323 were good general combiners for yield components only. Moreover, KL-221 was also a good general combiner for fibre yield. Similarly, B-509 and Ariane were good general combiners for fibre yield and most of its components. Among the specific cross combinations, B-509 × Flak-1 was outstanding for seed yield per plant and B-509 × KL-187 and LC-2323 × LCK-9826 for fibre yield per plant, with high SCA effects. In general, the hybrids excelled their respective parents and the standard checks for most of the characters studied. Based on the comparison of mean performance, SCA effects and the extent of heterosis, the hybrids LC-2323 × LCK-9826 and B-509 × KL-221 appeared to be the most promising for both seed and fibre yield. Other promising combinations were LC-2323 × KL-210 and B-509 × Ariane for seed and fibre yield, respectively. The superiority of LC-2323, LCK-9826, KL-221, B-509 and Ariane as good general combiners was further confirmed by the involvement of these parents in the desirable cross combinations.
