摘要：

Flax and hemp were the most important source for textile yarns until the 18th century. Since then cotton has taken over their role. The recent developments in plant genomics and the availability of microarray technology make it possible to better understand the complex relation between genes and fibre quality. This will lead to new targets for breeding and become the final breakthrough for alternative crops such as flax and hemp.
