Agronomic evaluation of shade tolerance of 16 spring Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz genotypes under different artificial shade levels using a modified membership function.

ABSTRACT: Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is currently gaining considerable attention as a potential oilseed feedstock for biofuel, oil and feed source, and bioproducts. Studies have shown the potential of using camelina in an intercropping system. However, there are no camelina genotypes evaluated or bred for shade tolerance. The objective of this study was to evaluate and determine the shade tolerance of sixteen spring camelina genotypes (growth stage: BBCH 103; the plants with 4-5 leaves) for intercropping systems. In this study, we simulated three different shade levels, including low (LST), medium (MST), and high shade treatments (HST; 15, 25, and 50% reduction of natural light intensity, respectively), and evaluated the photosynthetic and physiological parameters, seed production
