Facultative winter accession of Camelina sativa (L. Crantz) with early maturity contributes to understanding of the role of FLOWERING LOCUS C in camelina flowering

The paper identifies a facultative winter camelina accession with a subfunctional FLC allele that flowers earlier than a common winter accession, aiding marker-assisted breeding and cytotype classification.

Progress toward the identification and stacking of crucial domestication traits in pennycress

This study identifies key domestication traits in pennycress and develops molecular markers to stack them into individual lines.

Spring flowering habit in field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) has arisen multiple independent times

The paper identifies loss-of-function mutations in TaFLC that confer a spring annual phenotype in pennycress and shows the trait has evolved independently multiple times.
