Linum usitatissimum is a widely distributed plant that has a long history of traditional use as both an industrial oil and fibre crop. It is known as linseed in the United kingdom and its former colonies, or flax in North America. For the last fifteen year there has been a steadily growing interest in the medicinal and nutraceutical value of flax, including experimental evidence for the role of flax lignans in the prevention of cancer as well as cardiovascular and kidney diseases.This volume is a comprehensive review of the genus covering all aspects of the taxonomy, chemistry, cultivation, pharmacology and commercial uses of flax, and includes chapters on the disease prevention potential of these plants. With material written by leading experts, this book will be an invaluable reference source to all those interested in nutraceuticals, medicinal plants, pharmacy and agronomy.
