Abstract

Camelina is an alternative low-input oil plant grown in marginal areas in Turkey. This study aimed to determine some quality characteristics of 39 camellia genotypes in ecological conditions in Bolu, Turkey. The field experiments were carried out in an augmented design with randomized blocks. In this work, some important properties such as thousand seed weight, oil content, fatty acid composition, and protein ratio were investigated. Results showed that mean data for thousand seed weight, oil ratio, and protein ratio were 0.63 – 1.5 g, 26.69 – 39.17%, and 21.81 – 29.81%, respectively. Considering the oil content of the genotypes used in the study, the PI 650158 genotype had the highest oil ratio, while the PI 650164 genotype had the highest seed protein ratio. In conclusion, the PI 311735 and PI 650158 genotypes were found to be within acceptable limits in terms of both oil and protein ratios in places with semi-temperate conditions.
