Evidence of the domestication history of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) from genetic diversity of the sad2 locus.

TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik - 1 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt

A phylogenetic analysis was conducted on 34 alleles of 2.5 kb sized stearoyl-ACP desaturase II (sad2), obtained from 30 accessions of cultivated and pale flax (Linum spp.), to elucidate the history of flax domestication. The analysis supports a single domestication origin for extant cultivated flax. The phylogenetic evidence indicates that flax was first domesticated for oil, rather than fibre. The genetic...
