Seeds of seven different genotypes underutilised oil crop Carthamus tinctorius L. (Asteraceae) from alternative species collection the Institute Field and Vegetable Crops (Novi Sad, Serbia), were analysed for their protein, oil, fatty acids, tocopherols total phenolics contents, with a view to test diversity potential as an source these valuable compounds. tested safflower had protein (determin...

safflower oil seed has high adaptability to different kinds of abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of drought stress at different phenological stages on relative water content (rwc), leaf canopy temperature, seed yield and its components in spring types of safflower. the study was carried out in east azarbaijan research center for agr...

considering high alkalinity of iranian soils and lack of availability of some nutrients in those conditions, sulfur consumption is one approach to increase the availability of insoluble nutrients especially in calcareous and alkaline soils. effectiveness of sulfur depends on activity of sulfur oxidizing bacteria especially thiobacillus genus (t). in order to study the qualitative yield and morp...

Crops diversity and maintaining and enhancing the fertility of agricultural lands are basic principles of organic farming. With a wider range of crops in agroecosystem can improve the ability to control weeds, pests and diseases, and the performance of crops rotation and food safety. In this sense, the main objective of the research was to study the productivity and chemical composition of some...

in this work, the effect of three-day germination on proximate composition, total phenolic compounds, fatty acid profile, vitamin c content, radical scavenging activity, malondialdehyde content and reducing power of safflower seed was investigated. apart from ash, other parameters including oil, protein and crude fiber contents decreased significantly during germination. phenolics content incre...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact variety, location and sowing dates on some yield quality traits safflower. field experiments study were carried out in spring season 2017 2018 under ecological conditions Suleymanpasa Malkara districts Tekirdag. experiment laid as a split plot design based randomized complete block with three replications, which cultivars constituted main two ...

The present study documents the increases in systolic arterial blood pressure, plasma leptin concentration and kidney proliferating cell nuclear antigen index, as well as the decreases in glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymatic activities in the liver, heart, kidney, soleus muscle and visceral adipose tissue homogenates of female rats exposed for 8 weeks to a diet con...

1. The average oil-body diameter in intact cells of developing linseed (Linum usitatissimum) and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) cotyledons was similar (about 1.4 micrometer), and there was little change in size after oil bodies were isolated and repeatedly washed. 2. The glycerolipid composition of washed oil bodies from both developing and mature cotyledons of the two species was similar; oi...

In this research, our aim was to determine the effects of gibberellic acid, which was applied to safflower plants (Carthamus tinctorius L. cv. Dinçer 5-118) for pollen sterility induction, on some physiological activity and endogenous hormone levels of the seeds. Exogenously applied gibberellic acid (GA3) strongly influenced the endogenous hormone levels of the seeds by decreasing the levels of...
