Summary: Camelina sativa, a largely relict crop, has recently returned to interest due to its potential as an industrial oilseed. Molecular markers are key tools that will allow C. sativa to benefit from modern breeding approaches. Two complementary methodologies, capture of 3′ cDNA tags and genomic reduced-representation libraries, both of which exploited second generation sequencing platforms, were used to develop ...
Summary: Camelina is a low-input oilseed crop of recent interest for sustainable biofuel production. As a relatively new crop in modern agriculture, considerable agronomic and regulatory problems need to be overcome. A common and troublesome problem is sensitivity to residues of acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides in soils. An allele associated with the highest levels of resistance was created by ...
Summary: Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crtz., Brassicaceae], known as false flax or gold-of-pleasure is a spring-planted crop species. Although camelina has been cultivated in Europe since the Bronze Age, it is an underexploited oilseed crop at present. In the present investigation, results from an agronomic evaluation of new lines of camelina are reported. The genotypes tested were derived ...
Summary: A set of 130 camelina accessions from a world collection was evaluated for oil content, protein content and 1000-seed weight in field experiments grown in three macro-environments in Austria. In addition, a representative set of 41 accessions was subjected to random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Link: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1439-0523.2005.01134.x/abstract
Summary: To identify candidate genes for meal and oil quality improvement, a transcriptome reference was built from 2047 Sanger ESTs and more than 2 million 454-derived sequence reads, representing genes expressed in developing camelina seeds. These transcriptomic data will be useful for breeding and engineering of additional camelina seed traits and for translating findings from the model Arabidopsis to an ...
