“…Examples of camelina presence and production were found in 15 locations, four of which correspond to the same soil type (Typic Haploxerands), and the registered production of each location was averaged [5,[15][16][17]. The Typic Dystrandepts and Humic Haploxerand [5,16] soil types were considered as Humic Andosol for our purposes, and Xeric Haplocambids [15,17] was considered as Cambisol, grouping all similar soil types in Chile.…”

“…It was an important oilseed until the mid-20th century and was produced in several European countries, particularly in the central and northern continent, though its production declined afterward [2,6]. Recently, interest in this species has grown and many diverse studies have been undertaken to evaluate its adaptability in different agro-climatic conditions [2,[10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Winter [13], spring [14,15], and autumn-sown [15] varieties have been evaluated in the northern United States as low-cost productive alternatives. Gesch and Cermak [13] conducted their studies in Morris, Minnesota, sowing two winter varieties between September and October.…”

“…Meanwhile, Gesch [14] obtained between 780 and 1800 kg·ha −1 , with oil contents between 37.7% and 41.6%, using the same study location, but sowing spring cultivars between April and June. Guy et al [15] tested 18 distinct genotypes, sown during different seasons (spring and autumn) and in different locations. They obtained 25% higher yields when camelina was sown in spring compared to autumn sowing.…”

“…The oil content of its seeds decreases as it releases nitrogen into the soil, and it is not replenished after fertilization with phosphorus and sulfur [16]. Camelina has a higher tolerance to drought, frost, and heat, and is less susceptible to pests and disease when compared to canola [15,17]. It is also more adaptable to marginal soils [16] and has lower production costs [4], contributing to environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation [18].…”

Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is an oilseed with potential for use as a raw material in second-generation biofuels. Camelina has a seed yield of up to 2380 kg·ha −1 and contains around 45% fatty acids. Selection of a suitable site is critical for production optimization. The objective of this study was to determine Chilean agro-climatic suitability for establishing camelina as a productive alternative. Climate and soil requirements and geographical restraints were evaluated for the species, considering the climatological characteristics of its regions of origin, as well as regions where camelina is successfully grown in the rest of the world. The variables considered included factors (maximum temperatures of the warmest month, water deficits, and degree days) and limitations (altitude, geomorphology, and current land use), which permitted the evaluation of the national territory for a certain level of suitability. It was determined that 1.3% of the national territory (960,664 ha) has some degree of suitability for camelina adoption. Between the Biobío and Los Lagos regions, 49.0% of the land (471,203 ha) is in the category of no thermic restrictions, with mild water restrictions, and mild soil restrictions or without information, which can be used for camelina production. The Los Ríos region has 21.4% surface area (321,176 ha) with some level of suitability for camelina, the most suitable region to establish this crop in Chile. This research has provided valuable information applicable to new species and geographic areas which facilitate the adaptation of agricultural and forestry production to global changes.

Winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is a potential third crop to diversify maize (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations in the upper Midwest. Although generally considered a low‐input crop, empirical evidence suggests that it responds to added nitrogen (N) fertilization. However, optimum agronomic N rates have not been extensively studied in the region. A study was conducted from fall 2018 to fall 2020 at three locations to assess the effects of N fertilizer application time (all N‐rate applied in spring and N‐rate split applied in fall and spring) and rates on biomass and seed yield, and quality of winter camelina. Nitrogen application time did not affect yields. Both biomass and seed yields were greatly affected by N rates at all locations. Nitrogen had minimal effects on the oil and protein content of seeds, although greater N rates were associated with a slight decrease in oil content and a slight increase in protein content. The number of branches and silicles per plant varied significantly with N rates in all locations. The seed‐to‐silicle ratio showed significant differences in two out of three locations. Residual soil N increased with increasing N rates. A fertilization rate of 67 kg ha−1 provided the highest camelina seed yield. While this study has determined the agronomic maximum rate for applied N, further economic analysis could provide comprehensive decision‐making for farmers.

Camelina is an underutilized Brassicaceae oilseed plant with a considerable agronomic potential for biofuel and vegetable oil production in temperate regions. In contrast to most Brassicaceae, camelina is resistant to alternaria black spot and other diseases and pests. Sequencing of the camelina genome revealed an undifferentiated allohexaploid genome with a comparatively large number of genes and low percentage of repetitive DNA. As there is a close relationship between camelina and the genetic model plant Arabidopsis, this review aims at exploring the potential of translating basic Arabidopsis results into a camelina oilseed crop for food and non-food applications. Recently, Arabidopsis genes for drought resistance or increased photosynthesis and overall productivity have successfully been expressed in camelina. In addition, gene constructs affecting lipid metabolism pathways have been engineered into camelina for synthesizing either long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, hydroxy fatty acids or high-oleic oils in particular camelina strains, which is of great interest in human food, industrial or biofuel applications, respectively. These results confirm the potential of camelina to serve as a biotechnology platform in biorefinery applications thus justifying further investment in breeding and genetic research for combining agronomic potential, unique oil quality features and biosafety into an agricultural production system.
