TLDR
This review extensively analyses the recent advances and challenges in using molecular markers, genomics, transcriptomics, miRNAs and transgenesis for improvement in biotic and abiotic stresses, carbon assimilation capabilities, seed yield, oil content and composition in camelina for biodiesel fuel properties, nutrition and high value-added industrial products like bioplastics, wax esters and terpenoids.Abstract:
Ever-increasing global energy demand, diminishing fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns have forced to look for renewable and sustainable alternative energy sources preferentially from non-food crops. Camelina being a short-duration, low-cost, non-food oilseed crop with high content of oil (45%) rich in unsaturated fatty acids and capable of growing in marginal lands has emerged as a potential alternative for biofuel (with low carbon emission) and industrial bio-products. However, the fatty acid profile needs to be refined to make it more efficient for biodiesel and bio-products. Attempts to improve crop yield, oil content and composition through conventional and mutation breeding have been limited due to inadequate genetic diversity and availability of mutants. Simple and easy transformation and recent upsurge in ‘omics’ data (trancriptomics and genomics) has resulted in better understanding of lipid biosynthesis and its regulation, and thus has made it possible to produce unusual lipids with modified fatty acids for new functionalities. However, further improvement is still awaited for carbon assimilation efficiency, resistance to various abiotic and biotic stresses, seed yield, oil content and composition. This review extensively analyses the recent advances and challenges in using molecular markers, genomics, transcriptomics, miRNAs and transgenesis for improvement in biotic and abiotic stresses, carbon assimilation capabilities, seed yield, oil content and composition in camelina for biodiesel fuel properties, nutrition and high value-added industrial products like bioplastics, wax esters and terpenoids.read more

Introduction of alternative crops in the Mediterranean to satisfy EU Green Deal goals. A review
Ioanna Kakabouki,Alexandros Tataridas,Antonios Mavroeidis,Angeliki Kousta,Ioannis Roussis,Nikolaos Katsenios,Aspasia Efthimiadou,Panayiota Papastylianou +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated seven alternative crops based on their potential contribution to climate change mitigation, in compliance with the EU (European Union) Green Deal objectives and the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) of the UN (United Nations), and examined the factors that would determine their successful integration in the Mediterranean Basin.

Evaluation of the progeny produced by interspecific hybridization between Camelina sativa and C. microcarpa.
TL;DR: Considering the meiotic abnormalities observed and the probability of aneuploidy in the F2 plants, the C. microcarpa accessions used in this study would be difficult to use as sources of genetic variability for the crop.

Coal-Bed Methane Water: Effects on Soil Properties and Camelina Productivity.
TL;DR: Overall, CBMW diluted with an equal amount of good-quality water could be used to irrigate camelina in the short term, but only good- quality water would have to be used until the accumulated dissolved solids are flushed out.

Current advances and future prospects in production of recombinant insulin and other proteins to treat diabetes mellitus
TL;DR: Technological advances in genome engineering and editing technologies for adequate insulin and insulin analogs production, renewable cellular sources of insulin through transplantation of islets or insulin-producing cells and reprogramming or differentiation of non β cells into β-like cells, used either alone or in combination for diabetes containment are reviewed here along with their future prospects.

Advances in understanding the cyanobacterial CO2-concentrating-mechanism (CCM): functional components, Ci transporters, diversity, genetic regulation and prospects for engineering into plants
TL;DR: Through database analysis of some 33 complete genomic DNA sequences for cyanobacteria, it is evident that considerable diversity exists in the composition of transporters employed, although in many species this diversity is yet to be confirmed by comparative phenomics.
