Shifting sowing of camelina from spring to autumn enhances the oil quality for bio-based applications in response to temperature and seed carbon - Righini, Zanetti, Martínez-Force, Mandrioli, Gallina Toschi, Monti - Industrial Crops and Products 2019
Summary: This is a detailed study on the response of spring camelina to the effects of autumn and spring sowing. Smart Earth Seeds Midas variety camelina was sown at six different sowing dates at the experimental farm of Bologna University (Italy) during two consecutive growing seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17). In parallel, three experiments were also carried out in a growth chamber with different ranges of temperatures during the seed filling period. Samplings allowed identification of a “time frame” in which the main variations in Fatty Acid kinetics occurred. A “critical...
