Authors
abstract

this study was performed for evaluation of the qualitative traits of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) as affected by azotobacter and mycorrhizal symbiosis (host plant root symbiosis with the glomus fungi) as factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of college of arak islamic azad university during growing season of 2011-2012. treatments including of inoculated with azotobacter in three levels (non-inoculated, inoculation with azotobacter-5 and inoculation with azotobacter-12) and glomus fungi treatment in four levels (non-inoculated, inoculation with glomus intraradices, inoculation with glomus mosseae and inoculation with mixed g. intraradices and g. mossae). results showed that interaction effect of azotobacter and glomus fungi (the combined use of the two combinations) had significant effect on seed phosphorous percent mycorrhizal dependency and seed nitrogen percent of safflower. the highest seed phosphorus (0.58%) was observed from inoculation with azotobacter-5 and inoculation with mixed g. intraradices and g. mosseae (a1m3) and the lowest (0.37%) from treatment of inoculation with azotobacter-5 and inoculation with g. mosseae (a1m2). highest (3.14%) and lowest (2.46%) seed nitrogen were obtained with inoculation with azotobacter-12 and inoculation with mixed g. intraradices and g. mosseae (a2m3) and non-inoculated with azotobacter and inoculation with g. intraradices (a0m1), respectively. the main effect of azotobacter and glomus fungi inoculation was on seed oil percent, seed oil yield, seed phosphorous percent, root colonization percent and mycorrhizal dependency of safflower. the highest seed oil percent, seed oil yield, seed phosphorus percent, root colonization percent and mycorrhizal dependency of inoculation with azotobacter-12 than those obtained from non-inoculated.

Quality evaluation of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivars

Abstract Safflower is a minor oilseed crop in Australia where the market is dominated by canola, cottonseed and sunflower. Safflower however offers an alternative oilseed crop in marginal areas. This study was designed to evaluate current safflower lines and to determine their potential value both for edible oil and meal for animal feed. Two sets of samples were analysed. The first was a collec...

Breeding improvements in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.): A review

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an oil seed crop that is grown not only for its edible oil but also for its applications as animal feed and plant-made pharmaceuticals. Historically, biometrical genetics played a crucial role in the improvement of safflower seed yield and its components, phenologic and morphologic traits, and nutritional properties including oil, fatty (linoleic, oleic, s...

Effect of plant growth regulators on oil yield and biodiesel production of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)

The aim of the present investigation was to determine the effect of plant growth regulators viz., kinetin, chlorocholine chloride (CCC) and salicylic acid (SA) on achene yield and oil quality of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cv. Thori pertaining to biodiesel production. The growth regulators were applied at 10M as foliar spray during flowering (140 days after sowing). Kinetin was highly e...
