Agronomic evaluation and phenotypic plasticity of Camelina sativa growing in Lombardia, Italy – P. Masella, T. Martinelli, and I. Galasso – Crop and Pasture Science 2014

Summary: The agronomic performance of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz (camelina or false flax) sown in autumn and spring over two consecutive years was tested in northern Italy. Among the tested genotypes, CAM 40 showed the most adaptability to unfavorable environmental conditions but limited yield plasticity and CAM 172 demonstrated the most adaptability to favorable environmental conditions but high plasticity for the same trait, offering a greater potential for future genetic improvement.
