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