Camelina sativa is an alternative, low input oilseed crop with oil of high nutritional value. In Slovenia, C. sativa landrace has been grown by local farmers in the Koroska region since the middle of the 20th century. In our study, we determined oil and glucosinolate content (GLS) of camelina seed and free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), iodine value (IV), tocopherol contents (T), and fatty acid profile of camelina oil from ten locations over three consecutive growing seasons.

The current study was conducted to obtain more information on the specificity and variation of the volatile compounds, which are released from the root system of different lines and hybrids of Zea mays plants. European (12 genotypes) and North American (5 genotypes) genetic material was included (15 maize hybrids and 2 maize inbreds). The results of our study have shown that roots of European and American maize genotypes secrete different relative amounts of linalool, a-caryophyllene and b-caryophyllene, which depend on genotype and on the pretreatment of the roots (various mechanical damages).

The evaluation of disease resistance of varieties and other genetic material under field conditions is influenced by seasonal and environment conditions, variations in disease potential and differences in maturity between genotypes. Such assessment demand longer procedures to obtain accurate evaluation of disease resistance, therefore researchers continue with development of new testing methods which offer faster and reliable testing in uniform conditions. Disease resistance data presents important information for development of variety policy in particular region and for breeding programs which use selections for breeding of new resistant plant material. The manuscript presents implementation and comparison of two artificial inoculation methods of sunflowers by Alternariaster helianthi in controlled conditions of growing chamber.
