Abstract

In this study (Linum usitatissimum L.) grain samples that were collected from Khalkhal, Meshkin Shahr, Baft, Mashiz, Kerman and Urmia, were selected from Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of West Azarbaijan. Grains were grown in research farm of this center. Important characteristics of this oil and medical seed including: lenght of main and secondary stems, numbers of capsules, 1000 seeds weight, grain yield, oil content and etc, were selected and measured in three replications. Oil content was measured using Leiboritz method. The amounts of main five fatty acids namely; Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic, Linoleic and Linolenic acid were detected and measured by GC. Data were analysed by Excel and SPSS software. There were significant difference among some characteristics such as numbers of capsules and oil content at 1% level of significance. Oil content had positive significant correlation with 1000 seeds weight at 1% level of significance. This study indicated that Meshkin Shahr cultivar had the highest amounts of grain yield and oil content and therefore had the much amounts of omega 3 fatty acid. This sample was suitable for cultivation in North-western parts of our country.
