Abstract
This research was conducted to determine performance of different false flax (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz) genotypes (Vinimik 17, PI304269, CR 476/65, CR 1674/90, Ames 26665, Ames 26667, Ames 26673, Ames 26676, Ames 26680, Ames 26686 and Ames 28372) in terms of the plant height, the branch number, 1000 seed weight, the seed yield, oil content, oil yield and fatty acid components. Results showed that having highest seed yield, and oil yield, Vinimik 17, Ames 26665, Ames 26667 and Ames 26673 could be suggested to be used as oil crops for oil industry or as medicine plant. Having low saturated fat content this crop seems quality edible oil. Though genotypes are higher in erucic acid than 2% (maximum limit for canola quality edible oil), Genotypes having less erucic acid content should be developed by breeding programs/biotechnology.
