Abstract
CDC Dorado is a yellow seed coat oilseed flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) registered in 2017 by the Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada. This cultivar has a 7% higher yield than AC Nugget in the Black soil zone of the prairies coupled with a earlier maturity than Flanders across 10 site-years in western Canada. It has a medium (45.2%) oil content, high iodine value (204.2), an α-linolenic acid content of 64%, and a 1000-seed weight of 6.0 g. It is immune to flax rust caused by Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.)
