abstract = "Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz is one of the oldest oilseed crops in Europe. Over the last
twenty years, it has reemerged as a very promising alternative oilseed crop. Camelina has broad
environmental adaptability, a wide range of resistances to pests and diseases, low-input requirements,
and multiple industrial and feed applications exist for its seed oil and meal. In a multi-environment
study conducted in Serbia, seven yield-related traits, including plant height (PH), height to the
first branch (HFB), number of lateral branches (NLB), number of seed capsules per plant (NSCP),
number of seeds per plant (NSP), mass of seeds per plant (MSP), and the total percentage of oil in
the seed (TPOS), were analyzed in 20 spring camelina accessions. The combination of two years,
two locations, and two sowing dates (autumn and spring) resulted in eight different environments
across which the performance of the accessions was evaluated. The aims of the study were (a) to
provide a phenotypic characterization and performance evaluation of the camelina accessions, (b) to
identify correlations between the selected traits, and (c) to determine the effect of environmental
factors on the traits. Environments contributed to the largest proportion in the total variance,
explaining approximately 90% of the variance for all traits, except for NLB (70.96%) and TPOS
(42.56%). The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction model (AMMI) showed that the
weather conditions, and seeding dates were the most influential environmental factor. Location had
a minor to moderate effect on the investigated traits. Lines CK3X-7 and Maksimir had the highest
seed yields, and CK2X–9 and CJ11X–43 had the highest seed oil contents. All four lines had good
adaptability and yield stability, making them the most suitable candidates for cultivation in the
environmental conditions of Serbia in southeastern Europe. The present results reveal a potential
for developing higher-yielding camelina cultivars with increased seed oil content and improved
adaptability to various environmental conditions.",
