Abstract

McGregor is a medium-late maturing, high-yielding oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivar developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Morden, Manitoba, from the cross (Rocket/Raja)//Redwood 65. McGregor is immune to all North American races of rust (Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lév.), resistance being conditioned by the K¹L⁶ gene combination. The cultivar also possesses a high level of postseedling resistance to exotic virulent rust. McGregor has good resistance to lodging, and is adapted to all flax production areas of the Canadian prairies.Key words: Flax, oilseed, Linum usitatissimum L., lodging resistance, rust resistance, cultivar description
