DETERMINATION OF YIELD AND FATTY ACID CONTENTS OF DIFFERENT CAMELINA (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) GENOTYPES

Abstract

Grain yield and fatty acid components of camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) are largely unknown in the Eastern Mediterranean. For this reason, two year field experiment was carried out with three replicates in randomized complete block design to determine the yield performances and fatty acid components of 33 camelina genotypes in Mediterranean climate conditions. In the study, in addition to grain yield and agronomic characteristics, oil quality parameters palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and erucic acid were analyzed. It was determined that genotype 28 (3120 kg ha-1) gave good results in terms of yield, followed by genotype 9 (2735 kg ha-1) and 1 (2651 kg ha-1). These genotypes are genetically drought resistant. Besides, 28 (3.09 %), 9 (2.66 %) and 1 (2.73 %) are the preferred genotypes for the Eastern Mediterranean due to their two-year mean erucic acid content based on the 5% EU residue limit for erucic acid in edible oils. It has been concluded that in regions where the Mediterranean climate prevails and drought stress begins to be seen, camelina cultivation can be done with natural rainfall. Promising genotypes with high oil quality can be evaluated in plant breeding in order to combine yield and quality.
