Abstract: The germination rate, germination index and seedlings’ proline content of Camelina sativa were compared with wheat (Jing 411) in this paper, the results are as follows: during treatment of the seeds with PEG, as PEG concentration was increased, germination index and seedlings’ length of Camelina sativa’s decreased more slowly than that of wheat，proline of wheat increased more than that of Camelina sativa, which indicate that wheat is more sensitive and less resistant to drought than Camelina sativa. The seed of Camelina sativa contain 5.67% jelly which envelopes the seed and could absorb 181.31 times water. This might be the main cause that the seeds of Camelina sativa absorb more water in more rapid speed than wheat, which can explain the drought-resistance of Camelina sativa.
