“…For canola, years of genetic improvement have created cultivars that have resistance to a number of diseases. Camelina has also shown resistance to a number of diseases (Eynck et al, 2013), but it has not been grown widely enough to test that natural resistance. Camelina showed more resistance to flea beetle (Phyllotreta sp.)…”

“…Diets which are rich in alinolenic acid are beneficial for the prevention of coronary events and cardiac death (Zubr 2003b). A relatively high content of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) (such as oleic acid, 18:1; erucic acid, 22:1) together with a low content of PUFA (linoleic acid, 18:2; linolenic acid, 18:3) is desirable for many bio-based industrial applications (Eynck et al 2013). The concentration of erucic acid (22: 1, n-9) in the oil is approximately 3%, which is comparatively lower than other members in Brassica family (Zubr 1997(Zubr , 2003a.…”

Jiang, Y., Caldwell, C. D. and Falk, K. C. 2014. Camelina seed quality in response to applied nitrogen, genotype and environment. Can. J. Plant Sci. 94: 971–980. Camelina (Camelina sativa L.), Brassicaceae, has great potential for food and industrial use. This study analyzed the seed oil content, oil yield, protein content, protein yield, as well as fatty acid profile relative to varying nitrogen (N) rates and in different genotypes under several environmental conditions. Seed samples were obtained from a 2-yr field study with five environments (site-years), five genotypes, and six N rates. Applied N increased protein content, protein yield, oil yield, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), but decreased oil content and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Saturated fatty acids did not respond consistently to applied N. Lower air temperatures during the reproductive stages increased the total seed oil content, but the fatty acid composition was not affected. The experimental line CDI007 had the highest oil content, oil yield, protein yield, and PUFA, but contained the lowest protein content and MUFA. CDI002 contained the highest protein content and PUFA. CDI005 had the highest amount of MUFA. CDI008 was not considered to be a promising genotype since it had the lowest oil content and highest amount of saturated fatty acids.

“…The highest reported level of cytosolic PHB produced in any organ to date is 0.34% dry weight (DW) PHB produced in cotton fibres (John and Keller, 1996). C. sativa , an annual plant from the Brassicaceae family, was chosen as the host for our work since its seeds contain high levels of oil and the plant can thrive in marginal growth conditions (Eynck et al ., 2013). Camelina also does not cross‐pollinate with B. napus (FitzJohn et al ., 2007), an important edible oilseed crop.…”

SummaryPlant‐based co‐production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and seed oil has the potential to create a viable domestic source of feedstocks for renewable fuels and plastics. PHAs, a class of biodegradable polyesters, can replace conventional plastics in many applications while providing full degradation in all biologically active environments. Here we report the production of the PHA poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) in the seed cytosol of the emerging bioenergy crop Camelina sativa engineered with a bacterial PHB biosynthetic pathway. Two approaches were used: cytosolic localization of all three enzymes of the PHB pathway in the seed, or localization of the first two enzymes of the pathway in the cytosol and anchoring of the third enzyme required for polymerization to the cytosolic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER‐targeted approach was found to provide more stable polymer production with PHB levels up to 10.2% of the mature seed weight achieved in seeds with good viability. These results mark a significant step forward towards engineering lines for commercial use. Plant‐based PHA production would enable a direct link between low‐cost large‐scale agricultural production of biodegradable polymers and seed oil with the global plastics and renewable fuels markets.
