“…In contrast, no feeding damage was noted in the C. sativa plots even though flea beetles were observed on the plants. High resistance to flea beetle feeding has been reported for C. sativa (Pachagounder et al 1998;Soroka et al 2003), although the resistance may have resulted from the absence of cues that initiate feeding rather than a feeding deterrent (Pachagounder et al 1998).

Renewed interest in Camelina sativa is primarily due to the unique fatty acid profile of the seed oil and its potential value in industry, cosmetics and human nutrition. To exploit C. sativa in western Canada, more information is needed on the performance of this crop in this region. Following a preliminary evaluation in 2001, replicated agronomic trials were conducted in 2002 and 2005 with 19 C. sativa and three oilseed Brassica accessions at Saskatoon and Scott, Saskatchewan and Beaverlodge, Alberta. The C. sativa accessions matured relatively early and were more tolerant of drought and flea beetle infestations than the Brassica oilseeds. Some C. sativa accessions had seed yields competitive with those of the Brassica oilseeds, but seed size was significantly smaller. Seed yields and oil contents of all crop species tested were highest at Beaverlodge, the most northern location. The Brassica oilseeds generally had higher oil contents than C. sativa; the highest oil contents of each crop species tested were associated with the lowest protein contents. In general, average oil and protein contents for C. sativa ranged from 38 to 43% and from 27 to 32%, respectively; for the Brassica checks, oil and protein contents ranged from 38 to 53% and from 21 to 33%, respectively, across all species. Variation in fatty acid composition was higher among the C. sativa accessions than among locations, but overall the ranges of individual fatty acids were relatively narrow. The most abundant fatty acids were oleic (12.8–14.7%), linoleic (16.3–17.2%), linolenic (36.2–39.4%) and eicosenoic (14.0–15.5%). The prospects of developing improved C. sativa germplasm for particular western Canadian environments are good; of primary importance are increased seed size and oil content. Additionally, stand establishment, fertility requirements and broadleaf weed control options need to be investigated. Acceptance of this species as a new oilseed crop for western Canada will also require developing sustainable markets for the oil and meal.

“…Camelina is tolerant to many insect pests such as the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae Goeze (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)) (Pachagounder et al, 1998;Henderson et al, 2004) and the cabbage root fly (Delia brassicae Wiedemann (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)) (Finch, 1978). Camelina is also resistant to blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans (Desmaz.)…”

“…Interestingly, camelina was "rediscovered" in the last decade and has gained considerable research attention, as demonstrated by the high number of recently published scientific papers (reviewed in Berti et al, 2016) and the considerable number of large EU-funded projects (i.e., ICON; ITAKA, CORE, COSMOS), funded either within the FP7 (Framework Program 7) or Horizon 2020. In North America, camelina has been identified as a promising oilseed crop in view of relatively low agricultural input requirements (Ehrensing and Guy, 2008;Obour et al, 2015;Robinson, 1987), resistance to common Brassica pests (Carcamo et al, 2007;Deng et al, 2004;Pachagounder et al, 1998;Singh and Sachan, 1997), and diseases (reviewed in: Séguin-Swartz et al, 2009;Vollmann and Eynck, 2015), as well as tolerance to drought (Hunsaker et al, 2011(Hunsaker et al, , 2013 and low temperature (Putnam et al, 1993).…”

Camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) is considered a relatively new oilseed Brassica in both Europe and North America, even though its history as a crop dates back to the Bronze Age. Camelina has recently received renewed interest from both the scientific community and bio-based industries around the world. The main attractive features of this species are: drought and frost tolerance, disease and pest resistance, a unique seed oil composition with high levels of n-3 fatty acids, a considerably high seed oil content, and satisfactory seed yields, in particular under low-input management and in limiting environments. Aiming at evaluating the feasible introduction of recently released camelina breeding lines under different environmental conditions and their productive potential a multi-location trial was set up. The agronomic performance of nine improved genotypes of camelina was evaluated in a wide range of environments in Europe (Greece, Italy, Poland) and in five locations across Canada, in two consecutive growing seasons (2015 and 2016). Sowing time was optimized for each location according to the different climatic conditions. Camelina proved to be a highly adaptable species, reaching seed yields of about 1 Mg DM ha −1 under the most limiting conditions (i.e., low precipitation, poor soil quality, extremely high temperature at flowering). Growing environments characterized by mild temperatures and adequate rainfall (>170 mm, during the growing season) resulted in higher average seed yields. The length of the growing cycle varied greatly between different locations (80-110 d), but the cumulative thermal time was quite stable (∼1200 GDD, growing degree days). The advanced breeding line 787-08, which possesses up to 30% larger seed compared to the mean seed size of all other test entries, proved to be the most promising genotype across all locations in Europe and Canada, combining high seed yields (1.1-2.7 Mg DM ha −1) with improved yield stability. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, lines with improved oil composition (i.e., increased oleic and α-linolenic and lower linoleic acid contents) for feed, food and industrial applications were identified (789-02 and 887).
