The genetic control of the traits «plant height», «the number of lateral shoots» and «the number of lateral stems» has been studied in 3 pure lines and 1 variety of linseed according to the model 1 of Hayman method. It has been shown that the traits under investigation are inherited according to the additive-dominant model of genetic control in the absence of any interloci interactions. The higher plant height and numerous lateral shoots are recessive traits controlled by 2 blocks of polymeric genes, whereas the trait of numerous lateral stems is a dominant trait influenced by 1 to 3 blocks of genes. The linseed lines have been ranked according to the number of dominant alleles they have. Suggestions for selection using these parental genotypes have been made.
