Sixty one local land races (LLRs) of linseed were collected from
different parts of Odisha. They were field-screened for resistance to blight
(caused by Alternaria lini Dey), powdery mildew (caused by Oidium lini Skoric)
and wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini (Bolley) Snyder and Hansen).
All the LLRs were susceptible to Alternaria blight. Six entries, namely, OLC 2,
6, 7, 13, 55 and 57 were resistant to powdery mildew. With regard to wilt, OLC
22 and 37 were immune whereas six entries, namely, OLC 11, 31, 36, 47, 58 and
60 were resistant. - See more at:
