The study assessed the levels of variation in oil content and fatty acid composition among the linseed cultivars, lines and populations of different origins grown in Turkey The oil content ranged from 23.28 to 40.36% in the experimental materials. Three saturated (C-16:0, C-18:0 and C-20:0) and four unsaturated (C-18:1, C-18:2, C-18:3 and C-20:1) fatty acids, identified by GC represented 10.02% and 89.91% of the total oil, respectively The C-18:3 acid content ranged 48.08% to 57.58%. The contents of the C-18:1, C-18:2, C-16:0, and C-18:0 acids were 15.81 to 27.99, 11.18 to 16.13, 4.07 to 7.02 and 3.21 to 6.70%, respectively The C-20:0 and C-20:1 acids were minor fatty acids in these materials and ranged 0.11 to 0.24 and 0.10 to 0.24%, respectively
