Abstract

CDC Melyn is a yellow seed coat oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), registered in 2016 by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada. This cultivar has a yield (106%) comparable to the cultivar AC Nugget (the yield standard for yellow seed coat oilseed flax) and a maturity rating equal to Flanders. It has a medium (46.6%) oil content, iodine value (199.4), alpha-linolenic acid content (61%), and a 1000-seed weight of 5.0 g. It is immune to flax rust caused by Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Thüm. and moderately resistant to wilt and powdery mildew caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl. f. sp. lini (Bolley) W.C. Snyder & H.N. Hansen and Oidium lini, respectively.
