Advances in genetic improvement of Camelina sativa for biofuel and industrial bio-products

Nitrogen source and rate effects on grain and potential biodiesel production of camelina in the semiarid environment of northern Nevada

“…Camelina ( Camelina sativa [L.] Crantz) is a reemerging oilseed crop of the Brassicaceae family and possesses the unique attribute of multiple uses. Among the many uses of camelina, the most frequent focus is on its value as a high potential biofuel feedstock mainly biodiesel and jet fuel (Ciubota‐Rosie, Ruiz, Ramos, & Pérez, ; Keske, Hoag, Brandess, & Johnson, ; Liu, Savas, & Avedisian, ; Paulsen, Wichmann, Schuemann, & Richter, ), and other uses entail several industrial products such as adhesives, resins, hydrophilic monomers, gums, and coatings (Berti, Gesch, Eynck, Anderson, & Cermak, ; Li & Sun, ; Sainger et al, ), a high protein animal feed for different classes of livestock (Adhikari, Heo, & Nyachoti, ; Bullerwell, Collins, Lall, & Anderson, ; Jaśkiewicz, Sagan, & Puzio, ; Pikul et al, ), food and supplements (Berti et al, ) are among the major focus of its cultivation globally. Along with the aforementioned uses, the inherent trait of high oil content (28%–48% on a DM basis) of camelina seed (Bacenetti, Restuccia, Schillaci, & Failla, ; Yang, Caldwell, Corscadden, He, & Li, ) relative to the 26.6%–40.2% oil content of canola (Malhi, Gan, & Raney, ) increases its potential as a non‐conflicting biofuel crop, that is, it has been classified as a minor edible oilseed crop for human food supply compared to canola (Drenth, Olsen, Cabot, & Johnson, ; Koçar, ).…”

Coal‐Bed Methane Water: Effects on Soil Properties and Camelina Productivity

“…The oil content, biofuel yield, and oleic acid content, which are important indices for biofuel production, were greatest in Pronghorn. Oxidative stability of biofuel is increased, providing better cold flow in biofuels when the proportion of oleic acid is high (Durrett et al, 2008; Sainger et al, 2017). Plant establishment was, however, the lowest in Pronghorn.…”

“…The relatively high amounts of the fatty acid constituents, such as a higher proportion of oleic acid, make camelina a good candidate for biofuel production (Bernardo et al, 2003; Shonnard et al, 2010). A higher proportion of oleic acid increases oxidative stability and provides better cold flow in biofuels (Durrett et al, 2008; Sainger et al, 2017). According to Wu and Leung (2011), biofuel from camelina meet the requirements for both European (EN 14214 specification) and international (ASTM D6571) standards for biodiesel.…”

“…Although camelina has been reported to perform well on marginal lands (Zubr, 2003; Ehrensing and Guy, 2008), studies on the effects of irrigating camelina with CBMW are lacking. In addition, studies show that camleina can accumulate nickel, zinc, cadmium, and other solutes and thus could be used for phytoremediation purposes (Putnik‐deli et al, 2013; Sainger et al, 2017). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of CBMW on selected soil properties, camelina growth, and oil and fatty acid composition of camelina seeds.…”

Cultivation and Practical Importance of Camelina Sp. Around the World (Review)

“…Индийские ученые считают, что в современных условиях основными направлениями в исследованиях с Camelina должны быть: селекция на увеличение размера семени и масличности, возможности изменения жирно-кислотного состава (повышение уровня омега-3, омега-7), повышение жаро-и засухоустойчивости растения, увеличение возможностей фиксации СО2, а также изучение культуры на основе «omics-platforms» [4]. В 2015-2016 Применяемые элементы технологии возделывания ярового рыжика в Казахстане освещены в научных статьях Тулькубаевой С. А.…”
