Abstract:In order to find out the main factors affecting oil content of seeds, the randomized block design was adopted. Then, the correlation and grey relation analysis of 10 agronomic traits of 23 oil flax varieties were carried out.The results showed that the seed oil content was significantly correlated with capsule size, thousand-grain weight and plot yield, while negatively correlated with plant height and technical length. The results of grey relation analysis showed that the order of relation degree between seed oil percentage and other 9 agronomic traits was capsule size > seed number of single capsules > plant height > thousand-grain weight > branch number of main stems >seed yield in plot > stem number > capsule number of single plant > technical length. Capsule size and seeds number of single grains were potential yield-increasing factors, and plant height was the lodging resistance factor of crown flax, and thousand-grain weight, branches number of main stem and seed yield in plot were the factors of seed yield. In the future, the introduction and breeding of crown flax varieties should focus on the above indicators.
