Abstract

A collection of flax accessions maintained by the Russian Federal Research Center for Bast Fiber Crops was characterized to evaluate its resistance to Fusarium wilt. 297 samples representing different morphotypes and selection status were infected with highly virulent MI39 strain of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini. Evaluation of disease symptoms was performed at the full emergence stage in a greenhouse. The experiment lasted for 3 successive years. The disease severity index (DSI) record was obtained for every genotype in each year of the experiment. The data set was produced in a framework of a project focused on both a) deciphering the mechanisms of plant immunity, and b) development of flax cultivars resistant to Fusarium wilt. The data is available via Figshare repository.
