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...

Intraperitoneal injection of trace amounts of corn oil prior to and following the injection of 40-50 mg of tissue from hepatoma 7777 or 7800 into the thigh of adult male Buffalo rats resulted in a marked decrease in the growth rate of both tumors. Exhaustive extraction of the corn oil with water indicated that the active component was not water soluble. Similar injections of safflower oil or is...

To examine the effect of crop growth enhancer bacteria on quantitative and qualitative yield of safflower, an experiment in randomized complete block design was conducted in eight levels with four replications. Bacterial factor consisted of control (absence of bacteria), AzotobacterChroococcum,AzospirillumBrazilians, Pseudomonas Fluorescens, AzotobacterChroococcum+Azospirillum Brazilians, Azoto...

The present study, was conducted to investigate the effect of crude Alkaloids, Flavonoids, and Terpenoids compounds extract from roots (Saussurea costus) against Candida species isolated different clinical samples such as mouth vagina in province Babil 2021 Iraq. Anticandidal activity achieved vitro by using agar well diffusion method preparing three concentrations for each compound (25, 50, 10...

toxic and direct teratogenic potential of two dominant iranian cultivars of carthamus tinctorius (safflower), floret extracts, il 111 and lrv 51 51, were investigated. the extracts are commonly used in foods and medicinal products. neither death nor alteration of stereotype activities was observed with il 111 and lrv 51 51 extracts up to 17 g/kg in 48 h in mice and rats. haemoglobin was decreas...

Field experiments were conducted in Chile and western Canada to measure short-distance (0 to 100 m) outcrossing from transgenic safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) intended for plant molecular farming to non-transgenic commodity safflower of the same variety. The transgenic safflower used as the pollen source was transformed with a construct for seed-specific expression of a high-value protein ...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) serves as a reference dicot for investigation of defence mechanisms in Asteraceae due to abundant secondary metabolites and high resistance/tolerance to environmental stresses. In plants, phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathways are considered as two central defence signalling cascades in stress conditions. Here, we describe the isolation of two major genes in ...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an oil-crop suitable for semi-arid agriculture, but its physiological response to agronomic inputs has yet to be fully evaluated. The effect of fertiliser on the physiology and production of Safflower grown in pots filled with standard grade perlite inside a semi-controlled glass house was studied. Plants were initially irrigated with 20-100 ml standard hy...

In the course of research, it was found out that highest rates photosynthetic activity Carthamus tinctorius were noted in variant where pre-sowing treatment seeds with a growth stimulator zircon + crops budding phase siliplant microfertilizer carried out. this variant, leaf area best variety Ershovsky 4 35.3 thousand m2 / ha, dry aboveground biomass - 7.49 t potential 1941 ha·day; net productiv...
