Summary: A study found that phosphorus deficiency increases seed oil content and alters fatty acid composition of Camelina seeds, but greatly reduces seed production. This suggests that achieving a high yield and quality of Camelina seed oil is closely linked to the phosphorus status of the soil.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the initial steps of camelina-based production process, including plant cultivation and harvesting, seed pretreatment, and oil recovery. The characteristics of camelina plant and seed are briefly described, and the important issues of camelina seed harvesting, cleaning, drying, storing, and pretreating are discussed. The focus of the paper is on oil recovery from pretreated seed, emphasizing the traits of various recovery methods and the physicochemical properties and composition of camelina oil. The traditional, actual, and prospective uses of camelina seed, oil, meal, and straw are also briefly overviewed.

Summary: Camelina is an orphan oil crop that shows potential for yield improvement through breeding and biotechnological approaches. The CYP78A genes from arabidopsis have been found to regulate seed development in camelina, with excessive expression affecting fertility while moderate expression enhances seed weight and oil content. This study demonstrates that manipulating the expression levels of CYP78A genes can be a powerful strategy for modifying plant biomass and seed traits in camelina.

Summary: Research identified mutations in key genes related to fatty acid synthesis in camelina, leading to alterations in fatty acid composition. By analyzing the enzyme function of these mutant alleles in yeast, the study demonstrated the impact of FAE1, FAD2, and FAD3 mutations. Crossing mutant lines produced mid-oleic oils with improved oxidative stability for biofuel applications.

Summary: Studies on camelina performance in northern France showed that major limiting factors affecting yield and quality variations were nitrogen crop status, downy mildew, and weed biomass. Understanding these factors can help improve camelina performance through selecting resistant genotypes, managing nitrogen fertilization, and adjusting sowing dates.

Summary: In this study, DGAT3 was found to contribute to the accumulation of seed storage oil and preferred the acylation of C18:3. Overexpression of CsDGAT3-2 or CsDGAT3-3 led to increased seed weight and total fatty acid levels in transgenic Arabidopsis seeds, especially in C18:3 and C20:1 levels. Knockout of DGAT3 in camelina resulted in reduced seed weight and fatty acid levels, particularly in C18:3 and C20:1. There were no significant differences in total seed fatty acid levels or composition between the Arabidopsis dgat1 mutant and the dgat1 mutant overexpressing CsDGAT3-3.

Summary: The study evaluated the deodorant activity of black cumin seed against organosulfur compounds related to garlic odor, finding that black cumin seed essential oil showed remarkable deodorant activity against garlic essential oil, presumably by covalently reacting with the sulfur compounds. This reaction, particularly with thymoquinone and allyl mercaptan, was identified as a key factor in the deodorizing effect.

Summary: There is limited data available in the literature about the energetic value of insect-derived products. This study investigated the apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and apparent metabolisable energy corrected to zero nitrogen balance (AMEN) levels of Hermetia illucens larvae fat for broiler chickens of various ages. The results showed that the AME and AMEN values of H. illucens larvae fat for broiler chickens are similar to that of soybean oil.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of different storage methods on the development of mold fungi in wood chips. The results showed that storing the chips in a silo was the most advantageous for mold fungi development, while storing them on an unpaved yard was the least favorable. The effect of roofing in the paved yard may be more noticeable during short-term storage.

Summary: This study describes a novel synthetic tetraploid triticale with Sr35 stem rust resistance gene, obtained by crossing rye and einkorn wheat. The resulting amphiploids possess a set of 28 chromosomes (14 of Am-genome and 14 of R-genome). Important yield-shaping traits such as thousand-grain weight, plant height, and stem length are higher in this tetraploid triticale compared to parental genotypes and standard hexaploid triticale cultivars. This tetraploid triticale genetic stock can serve as a valuable germplasm for triticale improvement or alternative crop development.

Summary: A diverse range of organisms, including fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes, can break down and transform organic matter, such as wood, into valuable nutrients. In the context of a sustainable economy, biological preparations are increasingly used to facilitate the decomposition of lignocellulosic waste. This study focused on the potential use of specific decay fungi, such as Bjerkandera adusta, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and Trametes versicolor, in composting wood waste contaminated with substances like pentachlorophenol, lindane, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Summary: This study evaluated the dose-dependent effect of black soldier fly larvae fat inclusion in broiler chicken diets on breast meat quality. The results showed that higher inclusion of the larvae fat led to a higher concentration of saturated fatty acids in the breast meat. The fatty acid composition in the meat linearly increased with increasing insect fat inclusion. Meat color and water-holding capacity were affected by the level of fat inclusion. Despite the negative effect on n3 levels, consumer acceptance-related physicochemical indices were not significantly altered.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the concentrations of trichothecenes in durum wheat grain and changes in the F. graminearum transcriptome under the influence of the Debaryomyces hansenii antagonistic yeast strain. The results showed that Debaryomyces hansenii suppressed the spread of F. graminearum and decreased the content of trichothecenes. However, Debaryomyces hansenii had no effect on the biosynthesis pathway of trichothecenes.

Summary: Barley grain is nutritionally valuable due to its high fiber and antioxidant content. It is also a good source of unsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids. This study found that dark-pigmented barley grains contain more phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and unsaturated fatty acids compared to yellow grains. The application of an amino-acid biostimulant increased the concentration of phenolic compounds, particularly in alternative barley genotypes.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of bird cherry tree fruit and bark extraction on antioxidant potential and inhibitory activity against certain enzymes. Bark extract showed greater antioxidant potential, with the acetone-water extract demonstrating the highest chelating activity and the ethanolic extract showing the highest reducing power. The presence of ferulic acid, gallic acid, quercetin, and catechin in the extracts likely determined the inhibitory activity against alpha-glucosidase.
