A review of
literature describes1 usefulness of image analyses software to
determine genotype differences on quantitative linseed traits (Linumusitatissimum
L.). Also the goal was to propose new quantitative characters of seeds suitable
for determination infra-specific differences. The study was realized on seeds
of 6 linseed genotypes from two harvested years – 2010 (5 genotypes), 2012 (5
genotypes). The 7 quantitative traits measured on whole seeds and 3
quantitative traits measured on longitudinal seed section were chosen. Seed
samples were randomly selected from genetically and physically purified seeds.
The experimental data were obtained by the software for image analysis with
module for automatic measurement, from detailed digital images. The methodology
for measuring parameters in micropyle region of flax seeds was proposed.
According to results of descriptive statistics was found out that the smallest
seeds had genotype Oural and the biggest seeds had genotypes Flanders and
Recital. The three newly proposed characters from micropyle region of seed had
shown higher variability than the traits measured on the whole seeds.
Coefficient of variation had mostly values more than 10 %. The One-Way ANOVA
confirmed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between all
analysed samples in chosen quantitative traits. The results of the post hoc
means comparison revealed that genotype Recital received the highest values of
means and significantly differentiated from means of genotype Oural in the
traits measured on whole seeds in both harvested years. Also there was found
out that the Pearson correlation coefficient was mostly around r = 0.50 (p <
0.001), except two cases among traits - Area - Feret ratio and Diameter – Feret
ratio. The correlations between parameters of micropyle seed region were found
very weak (r < 0.50; p < 0.001).
