Abstract
Changes in the lipids of linseed during growth were measured at frequent intervals from 20 to 63 days after flowering (DAF). It was found that by 35 DAF the linseed had produced an oil equivalent in quality and quantity to that produced by mature seed commercially harvested at 70 DAF. It is suggested that consideration be given to harvesting linseed much earlier than at present.Keywords
