Spectral Response of Camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) to Different Nitrogen Fertilization Regimes under Mediterranean Conditions

Effect of planting date on growth, seed yield and oil quality of camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz)

Camelina is one of the plants that it seed yield is highly dependent on planting date. This experiment was conducted using randomized complete blocks design with three replications in research farm of Fasa Branch, Islamic Azad University, Fasa, Iran in 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons. Planting dates at six levels; November 1, 11, 21 (autumn sowing) and February 20, March 1 and 11 (winter sowing)...

BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF FLOUR FROM SEEDS OF Camelina sativa L. (Crantz) AFTER CHEMICAL EXTRACTION OF OIL

Pollination of two oil-producing plant species: Camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) and pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) double-cropping in Germany

Camelina and pennycress are two annual oil-producing plant species that have recently gained attention as biofuel feedstock crops. Prior to commercial production, information on their breeding and pollination system is essential to ensure sustainable management. We conducted pollination experiments and observed flower visitors in an experimental double-cropping system in southern Germany. We fo...

Antinutritive Compounds in Twelve Camelina sativa Genotypes

Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop becoming important in North America and Europe for biodiesel production. The use of Camelina flours in animal diet may be limited by antinutritive compounds. The content of glucosinolates, phytic acid, sinapine and condensed tannins was evaluated in twelve accessions of Camelina sativa. All compounds showed significant differences among genotypes. Only the con...

Feasibility Cultivation of Camelina (Camelina sativa) as Medicinal-Oil Plant in Rainfed Conditions in Kermanshah-Iran's First Report

In Iran, more than 90% of raw materials including oils and oil seeds are provided through import. Camelina sativa L. as an oilseed crop, belongs to Brassicaceae family, has been shown in several experiments that need very little water and resistant to chilling injury than other plant oils, especially canola. This Experiment was conducted at research station of Campus of Agriculture and Natural ...
