In the present study we investigated the comparative genotoxic potential of laser rays and gamma rays on somatic and gametic cells of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.). Mutagenic parameters like mitotic and meiotic consequences were accessed from the plants that showed a linear relationship between dose absorbed and chromosomal anomalies. A wide spectrum of chromosomal aberrations was encount...

In this research, our aim was to determine the effects of gibberellic acid, which was applied to safflower plants (Carthamus tinctorius L. cv. Dinçer 5-118) for pollen sterility induction, on some physiological activity and endogenous hormone levels of the seeds. Exogenously applied gibberellic acid (GA3) strongly influenced the endogenous hormone levels of the seeds by decreasing the levels of...

in 2007, an experiment was conducted at the farm of the college of agriculture, isfahan university of technology, in najaf abad (lavark), to study the effects of two pre-emergence herbicides (trifluralin and ethalfluralin) when combined with the three post-emergence herbicides setoxydim, cycloxydim and haloxyfop and the two post-emergence herbicides desmedipham and phenmedipham on weeds and the...

saffron (crocus sativus) is the most valuable and indigenous crop in iran. the stigmas of flower are used as a popular natural flavouring, colouring and medicinal agent. however, the market suffers from frauds in this plant such as mixing with safflower petals due to high profit. identification of these frauds with conventional and biochemical methods is difficult and low sensitive. therefore, ...

ABSTRACT Safflower is a crop of high economic value with oil concentration in its seeds and great industrial versatility, besides various benefits to human health. As other agricultural crops, it common store safflower make available different periods the year and, due hygroscopic characteristics, studies evaluating effect temperature air relative humidity on moisture content become relevant. T...

safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) of the family asteraceae is an annual broadleaf oilseed crop with 35-40 % oil. it was originated from southern asia and is known to have been cultivated in china, india, iran and egypt. in iran the safflower cultivation area has increased over 10000 ha in 2008. some pathogenic fungi such as pythium ultimum, phytophthora drechsleri, puccinia carthami, and fusa...

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 ...
