Abstract
The present invention is directed to simple a cultivar of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum) which produces a novel profile of linolenic acid. The plant, the oil products and the unique genes of the cultivar are described. A cultivar producing a seed with high concentration of alpha linolenic acid is further described by genome profile including cDNA and simple sequence repeat (SSR or microsatellite) regions. The cultivar can also be identified by its novel flaxseed oil profile.
