Abstract
Glucosinolate content in Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz (false flax, gold-of-pleasure) and its relatives C. microcarpa , C. alyssum , C. rumelica and C. hispida w as investigated. With the exception of C. hispida in which GSL3 was ab sent, in all remaining species , three characteristic glucosinolates (GSL1, GSL2 and GSL3) were identified. Camelina genotypes of spring type ( C. sativa CAM134, C. alyssum CAM21) showed a typical pattern of glucose nolates with GSL1 > GSL3. GSL1 was present in traces in C. microcarpa and at low levels in C. rumelica and C. alyssum subsp. alyssum . In C. hispida , the GSL1 content was greater than GSL2 and, only in this specie, GSL2 represented less than 50% of total glucosinolates. These differences in the glucosinolate pattern among Camelina species could be exploited to reduce the total content of glucosinolates in C. sativa .
