1 Total Utilization Flax GENomics (TUFGEN) Major Thrust: Genomics January 14, 2013 Santosh Kumar Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada & University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
2 Flax: versatile total utilization crop
3 Flax seeds have a unique fatty acid composition 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% flaxseed oil canola oil soybean oil sunflower oil corn oil cottonseed oil peanut oil safflower oil palm oil olive oil lard butter coconut oil saturated fat oleic acid Linoleic acid linolenic acid Source: Canola Council of Canada
4 Flax competition Competition Flax Canola Yield (t/ha) 1.35 ( ) 1.9 Area ( 000 Ha) 273 ( 22%) 7,471 ( ) Production 368 ( 13%) 14,493 ( ) Price ($/T) Export Forecast ( 000 T) 410 ( ) 8,729 ( 23%) Agriculture and Agri-Food, Canada, 2012
5 The genomic approach of the TUFGEN team Exploration Understand the genetics of the traits Develop markers linked to the traits Characterize genes responsible for the traits Application Improve breeding efficiency Improve flax as a crop (yield and oil content for example) Develop new products from flax fiber Develop new markets Increase yield Increase production Increase value
6 Examples of traits under study Seed yield Seed quality Fibre yield Pods/plant Fatty acid Height Seeds/pod Palmitic acid Lodging Seed size Stearic acid Straw weight Seed weight Linoleic acid Cellulose Oil content Linolenic acid Cell wall Lignin Shive Straw moisture
7 Trait Complexity Affects Breeding Strategies Trait Mendelian Quantitative Heritability High Low Environment Stable GxE Breeding Fast, easy Long term, difficult example Seed color yield For quantitative traits affected by the environments and with potential GxE: QTL or AM analyses
