Safflower is an important oilseed crop with poorly studied genetic inheritance of the characters. In this study genetically diverse parents were selected which had many contrasting qualitative traits. The used in GMU-1217, GMU- 6854, GMU-6891, GMU-2830, EC 755673 and EC755664. Crosses made between parents. Observations parental traits, traits appearing F1 F2 data analysed for goodness fit by χ2...

Abstract Genetic basis of heterosis has been exploited for yield improvement in safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius L.) but little is known about physiological yield. The objective this study was to quantify the seed by examining 19 hybrids and their parents photosynthetic traits, its components. results showed that components high positive low negative traits most studied. There were weak non-sig...
