Domestication of Perennial Flax Using an Ideotype Approach for Oilseed, Cut Flower, and Garden Performance

open access: yesAgronomy, 2019
Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) has recently grown in popularity as a health food due to its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Many undomesticated Linum species possess a similar oil profile, in addition to perenniality, and could, therefore, provide ...

Perenniality, more than genotypes, shapes biological and chemical rhizosphere composition of perennial wheat lines

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Perennial grains provide various ecosystem services compared to the annual counterparts thanks to their extensive root system and permanent soil cover. However, little is known about the evolution and diversification of perennial grains rhizosphere and ...
