“…There is much interest in the promising species C. abyssinica (Berzuini et al 2021), for which the chloroplast genome has been sequenced and annotated (de Santana Lopes et al 2018), and SSR primers designed (Qi et al 2016). There is less information on genetic analysis or population-genetic studies of the rare species we have studied, such as C. This could be related to the use of ISSR primers with varying degrees of informativeness.…”

Context Preservation of genetic diversity of species is a pressing issue; in particular, the preservation of the gene pool of many rare and endangered plants is a priority. Species of the genus Crambe (family Brassicaceae) have potential in agriculture and bioremediation. Aims This study aims to assess the genetic diversity and DNA fingerprint of five rare species of the genus Crambe, and to develop the concept of a genetic passport for rare plants. Methods DNA fingerprinting was conducted via the inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) method, using six ISSR primers. Hierarchical cluster analysis of the species was performed. Key results In total, 145 polymorphic loci were detected. The studied species formed two different clusters on genetic dendrogram analysis. The first cluster comprised two species, Crambe steveniana and C. tataria from a single subsection (Tatariae), forming a common clade. They were the most genetically close species with genetic similarity of 0.8431. The remaining three species (C. cordifolia, C. maritima, C. pinnatifida), from another subsection of Crambe, formed nodes from the general clade. Conclusions The findings allow plants to be genetically certified using our methods and informative ISSR primers for rare plants. We were able to propose a genetic formula identifying a species and present an example of a genetic passport for rare plants. The genetic structure of C. pinnatifida was investigated for the first time. Implications The present findings contribute to the systematics and critical investigation of rare plant species with genetic resource potential. A genetic passport could be used in the protection of copyright of agricultural varieties.

“…Crambe (Crambe abyssinica H.) is a native cruciferous plant of the Mediterranean region. Since 1990, interest in Crambe as a commercial crop has increased in several countries, including the USA, Canada and European countries, because of its high oil content (350-570 g kg −1 ) and industrial lubricant properties (Berzuini et al 2021;Costa et al 2019;Knights 2002;Yong-Gang et al 1993). Crambe culture has been evaluated as potential oilseed for biodiesel production in Brazil (Cremonez et al 2015).…”

This study evaluated the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of crambe meal (CM) and its potential to partially replace soybean meal (SM) protein in Nile tilapia diets. The ADC for dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, energy, amino acids, calcium and phosphorus of CM were assessed in fish (n=80; 65.30 ± 5.32 g). Subsequently, an 80-day feeding trial was conducted with Nile tilapia (n=140; 6.04 ± 0.25 g) randomly distributed in 20 experimental cages (70 L; seven fish cage-1) allocated in five circular tanks (1000 L) in recirculation water system, to evaluate the effects of replacement of SM by CM (0, 6, 12, 18 and 24% in isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets) on growth, blood parameters, fillet yield and proximal composition. The CM shows good digestibility of protein (0.824) and amino acids (0.844) by Nile tilapia and its inclusion in the diet does not affect carcass and fillet yield or proximal composition. Fish fed diets with 24.0% of the SM replaced by CM showed the worst weight gain and feed conversion rate. The protein efficiency ratio decreased in fish fed diets with 12.0, 18.0 and 24.0% of the SM replaced by CM. Hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, total plasma protein, glucose and alanine aminotransferase enzyme activity trend to increase at highest levels of CM in the diet. In conclusion, CM has potential to replace SM in Nile tilapia diets, due to high digestibility of protein and amino acids. However, anti-nutritional factors present in untreated CM interfere on the growth and nutrient utilization of Nile tilapia.

Crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst) is an important grain crop for biodiesel production. The objective of this study was to evaluate how spatial distribution of soil properties affects crambe grain yield and oil content. We analyzed six different sampling densities, with a distance between sampling points ranging from 5.5 to 44 m, to identify correlations among soil and crop variables, and the best spatial distribution. Crambe oil content was not correlated to any of the physicochemical properties, whereas crambe grain yield was correlated with total porosity and exchangeable Al and Ca, effective cation exchange capacity, available P, K, Cu, and Zn, and aluminum and base saturation, with highly significant correlation (p < 0.001) for P and K and Cu and Zn. Most soil properties had spatial dependence degrees from weak to strong, and were modeled by spherical or exponential semi‐variograms. Spatial data showed that low grain yield is associated with high seed oil content, while crambe grain yield was more correlated with phosphorous availability in soil in the first year (2012) and with Ca, Mg, and soil organic matter in the second year (2013). Spatial variability in soil nutrients is attributed to uneven distribution of fertilizers and surface runoff. The results demonstrate sampling density must be increased to generate more accurate maps for soil chemical properties affecting crambe. The use of a grid of 25 points in a 625 m2 of land is suggested, providing more than 60% accuracy for grain yield estimation and more than 40% for most chemical properties’ estimation.
