Facultative winter accession ofCamelina sativa(L. Crantz) with early maturity contributes to understanding of the role ofFLOWERING LOCUS Cin camelina flowering
Abstract:Camelina is being developed as a winter oilseed cover crop. Early flowering and maturity are desired traits in camelina to allow for relay planting or seeding of a summer annual following camelina harvest. Here we report that while all winter biotype accessions of camelina have a functional allele of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) on chromosome 20, there are also at least 20 previously characterized spring biotype accessions that have a functional FLC allele at this locus. We observed this by analyzing 76 of 222 cam… Show more
