(β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthases II), (fatty acid thioesterases), (stearoyl-ACP desaturase), and (fatty acid desaturases) are the vital gene families involved in fatty acid (FA) synthesis in L. However, information on the number and location of these genes and which ones are key to the formation of FAs in fruit seeds and pulp was not complete. Our study aimed to solve this issue using the available genomic sequences and transcriptome data that we obtained.

Flax seed is one of the richest plant sources of linolenic acid (LIN) and also contains unsaturated linoleic acid (LIO) and oleic acid (OLE). Stearoyl-ACP desaturases (SADs) and fatty acid desaturases (FADs) play key roles in the synthesis of flax fatty acids (FAs). However, there is no holistic view of which genes from the and families and at which developmental stages have the highest expression levels in flax seeds, as well as the influence of genotype and growth conditions on the expression profiles of these genes.

is a flax fungal pathogen. The genus comprises differently virulent strains, leading to significant yield losses. However, there were no attempts to investigate the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity from high-quality genome assemblies until this study.

Article Synopsis
  • Sequencing whole plant genomes is crucial for both applied and fundamental research, particularly in agriculture, as it helps understand beneficial traits of plants.
  • Flax is an important crop valued for its oil and fiber, and its genome sequence can provide valuable genetic information for improving cultivated varieties.
  • The authors successfully sequenced the first genome of a specific flax variety using Oxford Nanopore and Illumina technologies, achieving a high-quality assembly that enables future studies on plant evolution, domestication, and genome regulation.
