Diagram elucidating experimental design. Diagrammatic representation of (a) experimental plot with inter-row and inter-plant spacing, showing (b) phenological growth stages of Camelina sativa. The diagram illustrates the time course of the experiment which includes date of seed sowing, vegetative and reproductive growth phases, different sampling dates and time of harvest. PBZ treatments were applied on January 14, 2011 (Day 0: D0) with the initiation of flowering. Before PBZ application, the first leaf sampling and measurements were conducted. Thereafter, on Day 7, 14 and 21 (D7, D14, and D21 respectively), plants were measured and sampled for various growth, physiological and biochemical characteristics. Yield harvesting was conducted in the last week of February 20-28, 2011
