Distribution and infraspecific diversity of little-pod false flax (Camelina microcarpa, Brassicaceae) in Ukraine
Journal: Ukrainian Botanical Journal
Year: 2024

False flax (Camelina sativa, Brassicaceae), an emerging biofuel oilseed crop, demonstrates a very limited genetic diversity, which conditioned the high scientific interest to its closest wild relative, C. microcarpa, which is suitable for interspecific hybridization with C. sativa. However, C. microcarpa (as currently understood) is a genetically non-uniform and morphologically variable species that consists of several distinct ribotypes and cytotypes with varying ploidy levels. Little-pod false
