Linum usitatissimum L. is a very valuable crop cultivated for its high dietary nutrients. It is contains substantial quantities of phenolic compounds, mainly lignans, that have several beneficial health effects. Lignans are important plant derived phenols that reduce the risk of prostrate and colon cancers. Its seed, commonly known as flax seed, is a remarkable dietary substitute and a rich

Linum usitatissimum L. is a diploid species with 15 pairs of chromosomes (2n = 30). Its genome is composed of an estimated 373 Mbp of nucleotides for which an assembled sequence is available (www.phytozome.net).There are 48 000 accessions of cultivated flax preserved in genebanks around the world but only 10 000 are estimated to be unique because of the redundancy between collections.
