Flax chromosome structure decoded first Flax chromosome structure decoded first Linen fabrics have been highly valued at all times. And not only fabrics, but also linseed oil.
People have culture and process flask for more than four thousand years.
Flax comes from Egypt, but it has spread over many European countries and become an important technical culture. Flax breeders have been trying constantly to improve the culture and to raise new varieties resistant to climatic changes, with better fibre quality and more fruitful. Now this laborious work could be more efficient due to discovery of Russian and Belorussian scientists. A joint team of the Engelgardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Genetics and Cytology, Belorussian Academy of Sciences, have pioneered the identification of all flask chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA-containing morphological structures in cell nucleus.
