The study looked at how different linseed plants combine to produce better seeds. They found that some parent plants were better at passing on good traits, while others were better at improving seed yield. Certain hybrid combinations showed the most promise for producing high seed yield. The researchers discovered that both additive and non-additive genes play a role in determining seed traits, with non-additive genes being particularly important. This suggests that breeding programs focusing on combining different linseed plants could lead to better seed production.
