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).
A REPOSITORY FOR NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE HEAT AND DROUGHT STRESS TOLERANCE OF AN ANCIENT OILSEED. RESEARCH ON GOLD OF PLEASURE (Camelina sativa) Some plants are very sensitive to stresses, while others are hardy and continue to grow unperturbed when the field gets hotter or drier. The increasing stresses on agriculture from an accumulation of…
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…
Through our NEWSLETTER we want to tell you about the activities and findings that UNTWISTER’S Team is developping in the framework of the project. 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 integration of camelina as summer catch crop at INRAE France Versailles 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 Versailles after cutting…

In Spain camelina’s sowings for the 2020-2021 campaign began in November and have lasted until Christmas. The rains prior to the beginning of sowing and the accumulation of humidity in the soil have favored the emergence of camelina in practically the entire country.

The UNTWIST project took part in the London Science Museum Family Event Future Explorers in February 2022 aimed at children aged 7+. The aim of the event was to raise awareness to climate change and sustainability while exploring the cutting-edge STEM research currently taking place to help mitigate further changes and how will life…
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…
