Abstract: 
Cadmium contents have been analyzed in linseed (Linum ussitatissimum L.) material derived from a country-wide model-trial and from a lattice-trial with 16 genotypes grown at 5 locations in the Federal Republic of Germany. Among 118 samples out of the model-trial, which are devided in nearly equal parts of the cultivars Antares and Atalante, a range of cadmium contents between 0.1 and 1.7 mg/kg (100 and 1700 ppb) were found. Here, a general difference between these two cultivars was obvious, in that half of the samples of Atalante were below the threshold value of 300 ppb; in Antares only about a quarter of the samples were below this level. This finding was confirmed by the results of the trial with 16 different genotypes, which indicates that genotypic differences in uptake and accumulation of cadmium really do exist in linseed. The results of the trials also demonstrate, that linseed low in Cd-content can be produced only at suitable locations.
