Abstract

CDC Dorado is a yellow seed coat oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) registered in 2017 by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada. This cultivar has a 7% higher yield than AC Nugget in the Black soil zone of the prairies coupled with a earlier maturity than Flanders across 10 site-years in western Canada. It has a medium (45.2%) oil content, high iodine value (204.2), an α-linolenic acid content of 64%, and a 1000-seed weight of 6.0 g. It is immune to flax rust caused by Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Thüm. and is 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.
