“…However, no significant change was observed in growth parameters including root and shoot length and fresh biomass of C. sativa as compared to control (Table 1). The UV-C stress generally results in decreased seed germination and opening of cotyledonary leaves in P. vulgaris due to various reasons, including the suppression of the level of endogenous gibberellic acid by UV irradiation, disturbed protein synthesis, hormonal imbalance and reduced water exchange and enzyme activities (Stoeva and Bineva 2001;Schillinger et al 2012). Thus, the slightly decrease in germination with no significant change in fresh biomass of UV-C stressed (12.2 mg) and control (20.6 mg) plants indicates the UV-C stress tolerance of C. sativa.…”

A study was conducted to estimate the effect of UV-C (200-280 nm) radiation stress on growth and physiochemical responses of Camelina sativa L. cv. Calina (EC643910; a potential bio-fuel crop) for its possible mass multiplication at high-altitude under high radiations. The germination percentage in terms of radicle protrusion and opening of cotyledonary leaves significantly decreased 13.98 and 27.8 %, respectively, as compared to control. However, no significant change was observed in growth parameters including root and shoot lengths and fresh biomass. The relative membrane leakage rate and lipid peroxidation as a malondialdehyde contents significantly increased with the value of *99 % and 0.17 mM g -1 FW, respectively, under UV-C stress. Also, the proline, glycine betaine and total soluble sugars contents increased by *330, *440, *144 %, respectively, as compared to control. Among non-enzymatic antioxidants, the ascorbic acid and total phenol contents significantly increased by *284 and *537 %, respectively, as compared to control. Likewise, the activity of antioxidant enzyme, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase and catalase increased under UV-C stress with the value of 1.03, 0.05 and 0.06 lmol mg protein -1 min -1 , respectively. In addition, the chlorophyll a, b and total (a ? b) contents decreased by *180, *151 and *147 %, respectively, as compared to control. In contrast, the total carotenoids and anthocyanin contents increased by *160 and *184 %, respectively. Our findings suggest the adaptive growth and physiochemical responses of C. sativa under UV-C stress. Therefore, it may be recommended for large-scale cultivation at high-altitude under intense natural radiations for future bio-fuel production.

“…The greatest stands and yields were obtained with conventional double disk opener drills that most growers already own. In comparison, both drilling and broadcast were effective for planting camelina in the CP with no advantage of either method [126]. In southern Saskatchewan, B. napus drilled in 30-cm rows between 2.5 and 20 kg seeds ha −1 yielded more than being broadcast at the same rates [32].…”

“…The result was an excellent, uniform stand which yielded 2190 kg ha −1 . Camelina planting date and methods were examined for 3 years at four sites in the CP [126]. Data from 55 planting dates and two planting methods (drilling and broadcast) showed that camelina can be successfully planted from early fall to early spring, but a lack of in-crop herbicides for control of winter-and summer-annual broadleaf weeds meant that a broad-spectrum herbicide application prior to an early March planting was best for camelina seed yields at all four locations.…”

This report addresses the development of dryland oilseed crops to provide feedstock for production of biofuels in semi-arid portions of the northwestern USA. Bioenergy feedstocks derived from Brassica oilseed crops have been considered for production of hydrotreated renewable jet fuel, but crop growth and yields in the northwestern region are limited by a lack of plant available water. Based on a review of the scientific literature, several areas were identified where research could be directed to provide improvements. The current agronomic limitations for oilseed production are mainly due to seedling establishment under extreme heat, dry seedbeds at optimum planting times, survival under extreme cold, and interspecific competition with weeds. To improve emergence and stand establishment, future work should focus on developing soil management and seeding techniques that optimize plant available water, reduce heat stress, and provide a competitive advantage against weeds that are customized for specific crops, soil types, and soil and environmental conditions. Spring and winter cultivars are needed that offer increased seedling vigor, drought resistance, and cold tolerance.

“…The plant has lower nitrogen requirements and a shorter growing season than rapeseed [15][16][17]. Moreover, camelina is reported to be tolerant to drought and heat [18] and resistant to cold [19] and to different pathogens and insects [20,21]; thanks to various anti-nutritional compounds produced (e.g., Matthaüs and Zubr [22]). This plant can be used in mixed cropping systems with legumes, not only for water and nitrogen management [23,24], but also for weed control [25].…”

Is the Oil Seed Crop Camelina sativa a Potential Host for Aphid Pests?

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Camelina sativa is a Brassicaceae that was commonly cultivated in Europe until the nineteenth century. Recently, it has received much interest as an alternative oil seed crop because of its particular oil composition and low requirements in terms of agronomic inputs and its resistance to some Brassicaceae-chewing insects. However, little is known about the consequences of its reintroduction on piercingsucking insect pests that are not Brassicaceae specialists but that are likely to transmit phytoviruses. In this context, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the potential colonization of camelina by four major aphid species of northern France. Orientation tests, feeding behavior assessed by electrical penetration graph, and demographic bioassays showed that the polyphagous species Aphis fabae (Scop) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were able to land, feed, and reproduce on the plant. They even fed and performed better on camelina than the Brassicaceae specialist Brevicoryne brassicae (L.). Surprisingly, to a lesser extent, C. sativa could also be a suitable host for the cereal specialist Rhopalosiphum padi (L.). The colonization ability of camelina by the different aphids is discussed in terms of the degree of specialization and physicochemical characteristics of the plant. Camelina may therefore constitute a reservoir for aphid species issued from surrounding crops and their associated pathogens.
