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...

Energy is vital to the profitable growth of every nation and stimulate new research. Only natural resources can meet growing energy demand in recent years, biodiesel has become very interested as well environmental advantages that it be combined with mineral diesel fuel any quantity. The research focuses on study replacement a safflower methyl ester. engine tests shall performed using ester DI ...

This chapter deals with the biology of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). It contains information for use during risk/safety regulatory assessment genetically engineered varieties intended to be grown in environment (biosafety). includes elements taxonomy, centres origin, cultivation, reproductive biology, genetics, hybridisation and introgression, as well ecology. Annexes present safflower’s co...

in order to evaluation the effect of planting date on development stages and some characteristics of spring safflower varieties, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with six replications at the kabotar abbad research station, isfahan during two growing seasons of 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. three safflower varieties such as arak, sofea and goldasht c...

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 is a self-pollinating oilseed crop and has been cultivated since antiquity in the Middle East. become minor crop, to increase its cultivation it necessary characterize introduce new germplasm. Thirty-eight safflower cultivars breeding lines from different countries have screened with 8 AFLP primer combinations assess genetic diversity relationships among these genotypes. primers produ...

Groups of rats bearing Morris minimal deviation hepatoma 7288CTC were fed a fat-free diet supplemented with either 0.5% safflower oil (diet A), 15% safflower oil or free acids (diets Band C), or 15% safflower oil or free safflower fatty acids (diet D) for 4 weeks. A group of normal rats was also fed diet D. Triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, phosphatidylcholines, and phosphatidylethanolamines i...
