Camelina sativa is an ancient cultivar known for
hundreds of years. Camelina is the natural part of Northern Europe and Central
Asia. The plant. Many remains from archaeological excavations have revealed
that this plant has been grown in Europe for at least 3000 years. As a matter
of fact, fossil grass fossils have been found in Switzerland (2000 BC), Greece
(3000 BC) and Romania (2200 BC). Ketencik is an important plant grown in
Northern Rome during the Bronze and Iron ages. It is determined that linen was
used in human nutrition in Scandinavian countries and Western European
countries from the remains of Bronze and Iron Age. Camelina -a one-year oil
plant- is a cultivated plant that is resistant to harsh winters. In the
beginning, the light was used as the need for light. Over time, however, Camelina
has become an important industrial plant and has begun breeding studies towards
the end of the 20th century.
Camelina has become a
plant not only in need of light but also in human nutrition, cosmetics industry
and biofuel production. Camelina oil has high polyunsaturated fatty acids
(containing 50-55% alpha-linolenic acid). An alternative oil plant is the
region where the yield of wheat is low. Moreover, because of the high
competition with weeds, there is no need to use pesticides. Therefore it is
very important in the protection of the soil. It is also very important for
skin health thanks to its high vitamin E content and is an important resource
for the cosmetic industry. Camelina oil plays an important role in fighting
cardiovascular diseases through its high content of Omega-3 (%35) and Omega-6
(%15-20). In this research, seed production of 32 different camelina genotypes
brought from USDA was realized in 2017-2018 growing period. Seeds obtained were
sown according to the randomized complete design with 3 replications in the
field in İzmir-Bornova ecology representing the coastal Mediterranean climate
in the vegetation period in 2018-2019. In this study, in order
to determine the adaptability of camelina lines, agronomic observations such as
plant height, first branch height, number of capsules in the plant, number of
seeds in the capsule, thousand seed weight and seed yield were carried out.
