Pilot trials under agronomically relevant conditions are going to take place in Italy, Spain, France and UK to evaluate the response of camelina to diverse environments and to identify the lines most adapted to local conditions under specific management strategies.
The micro-plot trials on the camelina core collection will be run under diverse environmental conditions in Italy, Spain, France and UK during one growing season.
Several own project activities and events will be prepared and implemented as training for students at universities (academic project partners will adapt project workflows and results into practical training material for BS, MS and PhD students), and trainings for farmers and farming associations (one field day in Spain, Italy, France & UK each).
In the frame of UNTWIST project, we specifically dedicated efforts to joint networking activities with different projects financed to establish a fruitful collaboration and share expertise and knowledge on plant adaptation. UNTWIST would like to invite coordinators of other related projects to join the UNTWIST COMMUNITY as supporting experts. Your project will be portrayed…

To do so, we plan to publish a regularly a Newsletter that compiles the progress and results of this exciting initiative. WE HAVE ALREADY PUBLISHED THE FIRST ONE!!! If you…
The UNTWIST project organised together with the ADAPT project a joint workshop on best practice of data sampling and management. Both EU projects, funded under the topic SFS-30-2019: Agri-Aqua Labs: Looking behind plant adaptation, are working with a collection of > 50 genotypes grown under different environmental conditions. The projects will thus generate large volumes…
The Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG showcases UNTWIST as a best practice Horizon 2020 project in their #SuccessStory series (https://www.ffg.at/news/success-story-untwist-vom-leindotter-fuer-die-klimaresistenz-lernen) and highlighted UNTWIST during the Horizon Europe kick-off event “Research and development for a healthy planet” on 16th February 2021. In their commentary, the FFG emphasizes the integrative multi-disciplinary approach of UNTWIST bringing together eight…
The integration of camelina as summer catch crop at INRAE France Versalles will give the possibility to analyse the field trials work of the camelina core collection during this spring/summer 2021, that has been the first step of the UNTWIST french partner research. The first results of the field trial harvest at Versalles after cutting…

In the frame of the UNTWIST the camelina field trial at Rothamsted was harvested in August 2021 with the help of the Rothamsted Farm Team and a small plot combine. Seed yield, oil content, and composition will now be analyzed in the 54 camelina varieties to assess the performance of this spring crop in the…

The UNTWIST Camelina core collection has been brought together from cultivars growing in diverse climates and geographic locations. It includes 31 different landraces, 20 lines sourced from breeding programmes and 3 commercial cultivars. The core collection incorporates a range of genetics, phenotypes, architecture and adaptive plasticity. This means the core collection is an excellent…
