OBJECTIVES Stroke is one of the most common causes of mortality worldwide. Safflower yellow is widely used for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke in China. Several trials comparing safflower yellow and placebo or no intervention were unavailable for prior meta-analysis. Here, we present an updated and expanded systematic review, including four new trials, to evaluate the efficacy and safety...

The mode of agronomic traits inheritance was investigated in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in drought stress as a new report. Five generation including P1, P2, F1, F2 and F3 that derived from the cross of IL.111 (drought sensitive) ×Mex.22-191 (drought tolerance) were used in a randomized complete block design with two replic...

Senescence-accelerated mouse-prone (SAMP1; SAMP1@Umz) is an animal model of senile amyloidosis with apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) amyloid fibril (AApoAII) deposits. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dietary fats on AApoAII deposits in SAMP1 mice when purified diets containing 4% fat as butter, safflower oil, or fish oil were fed to male mice for 26 weeks. The serum HDL cho...

the mode of agronomic traits inheritance was investigated in safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) in drought stress as a new report. five generation including p1, p2, f1, f2 and f3 that derived from the cross of il.111 (drought sensitive) ×mex.22-191 (drought tolerance) were used in a randomized complete block design with two replications. generation mean analysis was used to estimate genetic pa...

Background & Aim: Despite valuable medicinal properties of safflower, breeding new varieties and development of the crop culture area has been limited due to the lack of genetic variation for some crucial characteristics as resistance to diseases and pests like safflower fly. In this study, populations of wild safflower, C. oxyacanthus were collected from western, central and ...

in order to study the effects of shading on head and its near leaves on yield and yield components of spring safflower genotypes, an experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on a complete randomized block design with four replications at agricultural research station, faculty of agriculture, birjand university during 2008. factors were including three spring safflower genotypes (...

safflower is a strategic plant regarding to its valuable nutrition value (45% extractable oil) and industrial uses. due to massive import of edible oil to the country as well as high potential for safflower cultivation, the research on production of safflower for oil extrusion purpose is of remarkable importance. the design of various processing and oil extraction units and also their optimizat...

Drought is a main stressor affecting plant production worldwide. Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) known to exploit biochemical strategies tolerate drought stress. However, the little so far about these does not guarantee safflower yield stability in future. To fill gap, changes traits and antioxidant activities of were monitored using 100 genotypes under two non-stress drought-stress field c...
