False flax

Cruciferous species, in which the glucosinolates are biologically active compounds (44), have been studied in both of the latter categories. In Australia, allelopathy has been associated with introduced crucifers such as Brassica tournefortii Gouan (wild turnip) and a more complete study has been made of Camelina sativa (L.) Grants (false flax).

Camelina sativa (L.), also known as false flax or gold of pleasure, is an annual plant that belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Camelina was an important CTop in Europe until it was replaced with rapeseed. There was no commercial production of camelina in the United States until 2004. A rapid increase in production has been observed since 2004 reaching approximately 30000ha in 2009 (Berti et al, 2011).
