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...

Safflower seeds provide an oil rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its adaptation to drought high temperatures makes it alternative for the development of oleaginous crops semi-arid areas. This study examines content chemical composition seed from three safflower accessions (Gila, Halab, Touggourt) cultivated over years (2015, 2016 2017) a area Tiaret (West Algeria). Under these condi...

A study was carried out to assess the genetic variability and association among yield attributing traits in 60 different safflower genotypes over six environments. The pooled analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that all attributes had a considerable degree variation.The parameters phenotypic coefficients variation (PCV) higher than genotypic (GCV)for characteristics evaluated, indicating expe...

The effect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3) with two lipid types on lipid peroxidation of the brain was investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Each group of female Balb/c mice was fed a diet containing DHA-connecting phospholipids (DHA-PL) or DHA-connecting triacylglycerols (DHA-TG) for 5 wk. Safflower oil was fed as the control. The lipid peroxide level of t...
