Hlavné myšlienky (tézy) navrhovanej témy:
Ľan siaty je od nepamäti mnohostranne využívaná plodina. Ľanové semená sú známym zdrojom esenciálnych mastných kyselín omega-3 a omega-6. Avšak dnes sa výskum zameriava aj na ďalšie významné zložky ľanového semena, ako sú lignany a slizy. Lignany – fenolové zlúčeniny sú v bohatej miere obsiahnuté v ľanovom semene a zohrávajú významnú úlohu v boji s rakovinou. Povrchové slizy semien sa v súčasnosti využívajú v komerčnom využití v rôznych oblastiach na výrobu napríklad penotvorných činidiel, krmív pre domáce zvieratá, alebo nano-vlákien. Ľanové semeno je v tomto kontexte jedným z najväčších zdrojov produkcie slizovitých látok. Nové technológie dnes otvárajú možnosti priemyselného využitia a produkcie pletív so záujmovými obsahovými látkami. Pre tieto nové trendy priemyselnej produkcie sú potrebné vhodné genetické zdroje, ktoré nielen svojou genetickou výbavou, ale aj následnou fenotypovou odozvou budú vhodné pre takéto využitie. Preto charakterizáciou a hodnotením vybraných genotypov aj modernými mikroskopickými a makroskopickými technikami je možné nájsť znaky a vlastnosti, ktoré by otvorili nové možnosti využitia tejto plodiny.
Hlavný cieľ: Pripraviť výberovú základňu ľanu siateho (Linum usitatissimum L.), olejného typu, slúžiacu ako východiskový šľachtiteľský materiál pre tvorbu nových línií s využitím vo farmaceutickom priemysle
Main ideas of the proposed dissertation topic:
Flax has been a versatile crop since time immemorial. Flax seeds are a well-known source of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. Today, however, research is focusing on other important components of flaxseed, such as lignans and mucilages. Lignans, phenolic compounds, are abundant in flaxseed and play an important role in fighting cancer. Seed surface mucilages are currently used commercially in a variety of applications, including the production of foaming agents, pet food, and nanofibers. In this context, flaxseed is one of the largest sources of mucilage production. Today, new technologies are opening up the possibility of industrial use and production of tissues containing substances of interest. For these new trends in industrial production, appropriate genetic resources are needed that are suitable not only in their genetic structure but also in their subsequent phenotypic response. Therefore, the characterization and evaluation of selected genotypes, also using modern microscopic and macroscopic techniques, makes it possible to find traits and features that would open up new possibilities for the use of this crop.
The main objective: To prepare a pre-breeding products of Linum usitatissimum L. (oil type), serving as progenitors for the further development of new varieties for use in the pharmaceutical industry.
