Narrative
First yellow-seeded flax cultivar to posses the M3P3 multiple-gene resistance to flax rust, incited by Melampsora lini. Resistance to all known naturally occurring and prevalent races of flax rust in North America. Averaged 4.5% higher in seed yield than Linott, Culbert, and Dufferin in early and late seeded trials in North Dakota. Yield averaged 947kg ha-1. Flowered 47 days after sowing. Height medium (52cm). Oil medium high (391 g kg-1). Iodine number medium (182). Moderately resistant to wilt (Fusarium oxysporum).
