  In this paper, the major achievements in the application of molecular methods in flax research in China are discussed. Some advanced biological technologies in flax breeding program are mentioned that were utilized widely in flax studies, which were also in employed in the fiber crop sector around the world. Special attention has been focused on the new results of flax disease investigations performed through molecular methods, particularly those related to powdery mildew and wilt. A conclusion was drawn that powdery mildew resistance is inherited via a single dominant gene. A label bank was made containing 20000 SAGE LABLE separating from cDNA, through SAGE analysis of genes resistant to powdery mildew. AFLP analysis was performed on wilt. Specific bands, AG/CAG and FuJ7(t), of the wilt resistance gene were found to be closely linked, with a genetic distance of 5.2 cm between them. T.. Read More»
