“…7,8]. More particularly, the accumulation of Cd in flax was compared in different cultivars to search for genotype differences in metal uptake and distribution in the various organs of the plant, mature or taken at different stages of growth [9]. Other studies have compared the Cd accumulation and tolerance capacity of flax with other crops such as cotton and hemp [10,11].…”

“…In developing country like India, it is difficult to convince environmental regulators and local agencies to grow metal accumulators (the data on hyperaccumulators is scanty) in the contaminated areas for the sole purpose of removing pollutants from their environment unless financial renumeration or expenses are subsidized.

Environmental decontamination is an integral part of sustainable development. In recent years there has been growing interest in using plants for decontamination. On the other hand, water, soil and air are increasingly contaminated. Large amounts of toxic waste have been dispersed in thousands of contaminated sites spread all over the globe. These pollutants belong to two main classes: inorganic and organic. The challenge is to develop innovative and costeffective solutions to decontaminate polluted environment. Phytoremediation is emerging as an invaluable tool for environmental cleanup. Various strategies are being applied to reduce the accumulation of toxic metals in plants. Cultivation of edible crops in contaminated soils is a subject of human health concern if the contaminant concentration in the edible parts of crops plant exceed the permissible level. In such cases non-food crop production viz. value chain and value additions appears profitable. In this review: (1) the contamination due to industrial effluents in peri urban region of greater Hyderabad, and (2) the strategies to use contaminated soil and water for raising phytoremediation crops, and generation of value products. Crops and products include medicinal and aromatic plants, ornamental plants, biofuels, tree crops, fiber crops, dyes, and plants for carbon sequestration.

“…modified elasticity and thermoplastic characteristics of the flaxseed fibre for the synthesis of biologically degradable synthetic material (Wróbel et al 2004). Another area of application of modified flax is the production of pharmaceutical agents (molecular pharming usage of GM flaxseed as a system to produce pharmaceuticals; to date only at the experimental level) and land reclamation and phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soil (Broadley et al 2001;Bjelková et al 2011;Czemplik et al 2012;Malik et al 2014).…”

“…Flax has therefore been gaining increasing attention for potential use in phytoremediation of soils polluted with cadmium (Cd), a highly toxic and abundant environmental contaminant, due to its cadmium-accumulating capability and cadmium-tolerance (Broadley et al 2001;Kos et al 2003;Angelova et al 2004;Shi & Cai 2009;Hradilová et al 2010;Smýkalová et al 2010;Soudek et al 2010;Bjelková et al 2011;Najmanová et al 2012).…”

Ludvíková M., Griga M. (2015): Transgenic flax/linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) -expectations and reality. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., This review summarizes the history, important milestones, current status and perspectives of biotech flax/ linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.), supplemented with some of our original research, breeding and data on environmentalsafety. We show how recent biotechnology methods and genetic engineering contributed to the flax/linseed breeding in order to speed up the breeding process (doubled haploids technology; in vitro selection with the use of pathogenic toxins or heavy metals; genetic transformation) and for the creation of new flax/ linseed cultivars. The focus is laid on genetic engineering which represents an excellent technology to enrich the flax/linseed genepool with genes of interest, which are not naturally present in the flax/linseed genome. Different methods of flax transformation are mentioned, as well as various genes of interest that have been used for flax transformation to date aimed at improving transgenic flax properties, affecting both qualitative and quantitative traits. The fatty acid content and composition, the lignan (especially secoisolariciresinol diglucoside -SDG) content, flax fibre quality, tolerance to herbicides and resistance to diseases belong, among others, to flax traits that have already been modified by genetic engineering. Selection genes, reporter genes and also promoters that have been used for the vector construction are also summarized. This paper describes different fields of utilization of genetically modified (GM) flax with different improved properties. The history of the only so far officially registered transgenic linseed cultivar Triffid is described in detail. Finally, potential risks and benefits of flax modification are evaluated and also the prime expectations of GM flax and real current state of this technology compared. Unfortunately, the products created by this technology are under strict (albeit not scientifically-based) legislative/political control in the European Union (EU), which prevents the access of products, created by breeders using this top technology, to the EU market.
