“…Early research indicated that the presence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria was necessary to stimulate root growth in flax ( Linum usitatissimum L.) through aqueous washing of C. sativa leaves [ 306 ]. More recently, inoculation of C. sativa with a consortium of rhizosphere soil bacteria containing Bacillus species resulted in approximately a threefold increase in seed yield [ 307 ]. Similar enhancement in C. sativa winter hardiness and seed productivity were observed when C. sativa seeds were inoculated with nodule bacteria from crimson clover ( Trifolium incarnatum L.) roots before sowing [ 308 ].…”

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz. is an annual oilseed crop within the Brassicaceae family. C. sativa has been grown since as early as 4000 BCE. In recent years, C. sativa received increased attention as a climate-resilient oilseed, seed meal, and biofuel (biodiesel and renewable or green diesel) crop. This renewed interest is reflected in the rapid rise in the number of peer-reviewed publications (>2300) containing “camelina” from 1997 to 2021. An overview of the origins of this ancient crop and its genetic diversity and its yield potential under hot and dry growing conditions is provided. The major biotic barriers that limit C. sativa production are summarized, including weed control, insect pests, and fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens. Ecosystem services provided by C. sativa are also discussed. The profiles of seed oil and fatty acid composition and the many uses of seed meal and oil are discussed, including food, fodder, fuel, industrial, and medical benefits. Lastly, we outline strategies for improving this important and versatile crop to enhance its production globally in the face of a rapidly changing climate using molecular breeding, rhizosphere microbiota, genetic engineering, and genome editing approaches.
