Fiber Flax Breeding in China and Europe
In Western Europe fiber flax breeding was started in the Netherlands in 1816, and pedigree selection was introduced in 1900 in the Netherlands also. Therefore, the commercial breeding of fiber flax started at the end of the 19th century. Flax breeding in

Infrared Spectroscopy of Fiber Flax
Comparative analysis of the presented IR-spectrums has shown a presence of some quantity of pectins, hemicelluloses, and lignin in the fibers obtained by various methods of stem processing of studied long-fibered flax cultivars. This fact can be because they are not only a part of intercellular layers but also located in fiber walls.
