Agricultural and Genetic Potentials of Cruciferous Oilseed Crops – R.K. Downey – Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society – 1971

Summary: Cruciferous seed oils from the crops rapeseed, mustard, Camelina, oilseed radish and Crambe, enter edible or industrial markets, or both. In the next 10 to 15 years, application of newer plant-breeding techniques will result in varieties even higher in yield and seed with improved oil and meal quality.

Breeding for modified fatty acid composition via experimental mutagenesis in Camelina sativa (L.) Crtz. – A. Büchsenschütz-Nothdurft, A. Schuster, W. Friedt – Industrial Crops and Products – 1996

In this study, seeds of the German C. sativa cultivar Lindo were mutagenically treated with ethyl methanesulfonate to modify the fatty acid composition in the seed oil and to select mutants with either reduced or increased linolenic acid content, respectively.
