.Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of the salt stress on Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activities in safflower genotypes based in on a factorial experiment as a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. The experimental factors were six ...

  In order to evaluate drought tolerance of some safflower genotypes, an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology in 2016 and 2017. In this study, 18 safflower genotypes selected from different local populations along with 2 exotic cultivars and one local population (21 genotypes) were separately evaluated at two normal (non-stress) and water deficit (s...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is one of the multi-purpose oilseed crops which has a high adaptation to different conditions such as resistance to drought and it is suited to be grown in arid and semi-arid regions such as Isfahan province. Root rot disease is an important soil-borne disease of safflower in Isfahan, which can be caused by different pathogens. The objective of this study was...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an only oilseed crop which, is native to Iran where, is known as its diversity center. The genetic variation study provides valuable information about maintenance and their usage of germplasm for breeders to increase efficiency of breeding programs. In the current study, sixty-four genotypes were assessed for 20 agronomic nag morphological traits for genet...

In order to evaluate the effect of deficit irrigation treatment and foliar application of ascorbic acid and jasmonic acid on morphophysiological traits of safflower genotypes (Carthamus tinctorius L.), the experiment was set out in a split plot factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications at Shahrekord University Agricultural Research Station during the two years, i.e...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate drought tolerance of selected lines from local populations of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology in 2002. In this study, the 12 selected safflower lines from different local populations along with two exotic cultivars and a local population were evaluated at two different irrigation regimes, usin...
