Cover Story: As a perennial agronomic and horticultural crop, perennial flax has the same marketable traits as annual flax along with added benefits. These new characteristics of perennial flax provide added value for sustainable production, such as reduced soil/water runoff, providing ecosystem services including pollinator benefits, and 2× harvests/year, along with the suite of traits for fiber, oilseed, cut flowers and herbaceous perennial uses. In this paper, we study the oilseed trait and its potential to transform perennial flax into a new crop. View this paper
