Evaluation of some morphological traits of flax gene resources (Linum usitatissimum L.) collected within 1955-1971 in Poland
Journal Title: Rośliny Oleiste - Oilseed Crops - Year 2015, Vol 36, Issue 1
Abstract
The research materials were Polish varieties and ecotypes of flax, which were chosen from four genotype groups studied for several years. The following flax traits were studied: plant natural height, stem length (technical length), panicle length, stem number of branches, stem thickness, slenderness and 1000-seed weight. The following values were evaluated for each tested trait: mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. The least significant differences (LSDs) were calculated for each trait and for homogenous groups determination. Correlation between the examined traits was determined by correlation coefficients. The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicate a statistically significant effect of groups on the plant natural height, stem length (technical length), panicle length and slenderness of plants. Eleven significant correlations were observed between the tested morphological traits. The correlation between the examined traits was also presented graphically.
