WET PROCESSING OF FIBRE BLENDS CONTAINING PRE HARVEST RETTED FLAX
Flax fibres obtained from an early-desiccated (mid-point of flowering), stand-retted crop were found to be finer, softer, lighter in colour, and to contain less lignin than the fibres obtained from crops desiccated at the more usual timings of (a) two weeks alter mid-point of flowering and (b) …

Identification of host proteins targeted by the flax rust effector protein AvrL567
The flax rust fungus (Melampsora lini) and its flax host (Linum usitatissimum) have served as a successful model system for rust infection for many years. The experiments described in this thesis aim to identify cellular targets of the two M. lini effector proteins AvrL567 and AvrM and elucidate …

Characterization of Flax Germplasm for Resistance to Fusarium Wilt Caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini
Flax wilt is caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini (Fol). The best control method is to develop resistant cultivars to be grown in the field. The objectives of this study were to develop a controlled environment phenotyping method to test flax lines for reaction to …
