Linum usitatissimum
Resiliency: Linum usitatissimum- what is the structure of resilience?
For this series, a segment of flax DNA was transcribed for an 8 harness loom. The gene woven here, whose specifics can be found below, has been associated with flax’s resiliency during drought and environmental stress. Woven in overshot, a technique used in traditional Appalachian coverlets, the structure of the gene can be visualized.
