Abstract excerpt
The genus Linum comprises over 230 species, with L. usitatissimum valued for linen and oil, yet crop wild relatives (CWRs) remain underutilized due to limited availability and poor molecular characterization. In this study, 96 accessions representing 16 wild and one cultivated species were evaluated using 49 SSR markers to assess genetic diversity and cross-species transferability (CST). A total of 473 alleles...
