Abstract

Camelina is recognize as a sustainable and environmentally friendly source for oil and biofuel production due to its adaptability to harsh climate cimditions. In this study, 134 pure double haploid lines of Camelina were evaluated in an augment experiment in terms of relevant agronomic and biochemical traits under dryland conditions. Seeds of each pure line were sown in an experimental unit and in four one-meter rows at the Dryland Agricultural Research Institute (DARI) Kermanshah, Iran. The measured traits included grain yield per unit area, plant height, days to flowering, days to maturity, thousand-seed weight, seed oil percentage, and other traits related to seed oil yield and quality. The results of the analysis of variance of morphological and phenological traits of this experiment showed that the studied lines had significant differences in all measured traits. The highest seed yield was 129.5, 110, 106 and 101 g/m2 for lines DH82, DH 100, DH 72 and Soheil cultivar, respectively. The highest seed oil and protein content was 39.28 and 31.31 percent for lines DH 45 and DH 133, respectively, and the lowest was for lines DH 97 and DH 98, respectively. The average oil and protein content of the seeds across all lines was 36.57% and 28.53%, respectively.
