From the flowers of Carthamus tinctorius L., cultivated in Samara Region (Russian Federation) there was isolated a new flavonoid, named us saffloroside, which has the structure of 7-О--Dglucopyranoside of 3, 7, 31, 41-tetrahydroxy-5-methoxyflavone (azaleatin). The chemical structure of saffloroside there was elucidated by means of 1H-NMR-, UV-spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. In the course o...

Two flavonoid aglycons, eight flavonoid glycosides, chlorogenic acid and syringin were isolated from aerial parts of Carthamus lanatus. Isorhamnetin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside and chlorogenic acid were found for the first time in the genus Carthamus and respectively, quercimeritrin, astragalin, kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-sophoroside and syringin in the species. The ethyl acetate fraction of the methanol e...

Effects of seed rates on grain, straw and oil yield of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were studied for two years in the semi-arid central Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. Three trials, two under rainfed and one under supplementary irrigations, were conducted using seed rates of 6, 12, 24 and 48 kg ha -1 corresponding to intra-row spacing of 20, 10, 5, and 2.5 cm, respectively. There was significan...
