Abstract: In order to provide new ideas for flax germplasm innovation and promote further development of flax breeding, current research status of flax breeding was described briefly, and the application of gene engineering, plant tissue culture and molecular marker in flax breeding was summarized in the paper. We proposed that the emphasis of flax breeding was to strengthen the study on distant hybridization and improve the efficiency and effect of hybridization breeding by using marker- assisted selection. Establishing and perfecting an effective technical system of anther culture were the keys to establish a practical breeding technical system and breed elite new cultivars. Furthermore, establishing an efficient genetic transformation breeding technical system was an important direction of flax breeding.
