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 (...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the drought tolerance of cultivated (carthamus tinctorius l.) and wild safflower (c. oxyacanthus bieb) populations at research farm of college of agriculture, isfahan university of technology located at lavark-najafabad in 2008. a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was used in each of irrigation levels after 80, 130 and 180 mm evaporat...

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity in 273 Safflower Genotypes Collected from Different Regions the World

background and objectives: hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a worldwide concern and it is the major cause of liver disease. several genotypes of the hcv have been reported from different regions of the world. the determination of the hcv genotypes is important for the prediction of response to antiviral treatment and clinical outcomes. so, hcv genotyping in each region is of great importanc...

in order to evaluate the effect of freezing stress on safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes, an experiment was conducted in faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. treatments included 6 genotypes (k.w.3, k.w.6, k.w.16, zarghan 279, line 295 and il-111) and freezing temperatures (0, -4, -8, -12, -16 and -20 ˚c). the trial was arranged as factorial based on completel...

The aim of the present project is to investigate the effect of salinity on growth, biochemical parameters and fatty acid composition in six varieties of safflower as well as identification of stress tolerant variety under saline (8 d Sm) condition. It was observed that salinity significantly decreased the dry weight and fresh weight of safflower varieties. Nitrate reductase (NRA) and nitrite re...

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...

Improvement of seed yield and oil content in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oilseed crop is the main objective of its breeding programs. However, little genetic information is available for these traits. The main objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for seed yield and oil content. Six safflower lines each derived from different Iranian local populations and Saff...
