Diversity of Ethiopian Linseed Landraces and Some Exotic Cultivars Adugna Wakjira

linseed accessions collected from Ethiopia were highly variable for several trait indicating the possibilities for genetic improvement of the crop. The varying characters of the superior accessions have implications for further work. The variation for the different characters found in Ethiopian linseed landraces and exotic cultivars included in this study could be exploited and used in future linseed improvement programs.
