Abstract:
We have measured the average germination rate of five varieties (V1, V2, V3, V5 and V11) of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz at 10ºC, 15ºC, 20ºC, 25ºC and 30ºC in an in-vitro test in a controlled light and temperature chamber to assess the germination potential. We calculated the percentage of grew seeds and used a multivariate analysis of variance to compare the germination rate dependence to temperature and variety and to determine significant differences in average germination rates. Results of this study showed a significant variation between the different temperatures applied and varieties studied. High temperatures significantly affect the germination percentage of camelina varieties. Moreover, V2 variety is the most suitable and flexible for different temperatures in the in-vitro test.
