Camelina genome study opens new crop breeding options
Original: Camelina genome analysis reveals how wild relatives could expand crop breeding options
Researchers have completed a genome analysis of camelina and its wild relatives, uncovering genetic variation that could support breeding of the oilseed crop for tougher conditions. The findings suggest wild camelina relatives carry traits that plant breeders could introduce to improve yields, disease resistance and resilience, broadening options for developing the crop as a sustainable oil source.
Why now: New genomic research on a crop with growing interest for sustainable oil production has just been published.
