in order to evaluate the physiological indices in relation to the screening of spring safflower genotypes for drought tolerance and productivity, seed and oil yields and yield components were measured for five genotypes including local arak, local esfahan, sina, kh23 – 57 and goldasht. the study was conducted in a loam soil in east azarbaijan, iran, during three successive years (2005-2007)...

Background & Aim: Despite valuable medicinal properties of safflower, breeding new varieties and development of the crop culture area has been limited due to the lack of genetic variation for some crucial characteristics as resistance to diseases and pests like safflower fly. In this study, populations of wild safflower, C. oxyacanthus were collected from western, central and ...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact variety, location and sowing dates on some yield quality traits safflower. field experiments study were carried out in spring season 2017 2018 under ecological conditions Suleymanpasa Malkara districts Tekirdag. experiment laid as a split plot design based randomized complete block with three replications, which cultivars constituted main two ...

Photosynthesizing flax, soybean, and safflower plants were exposed to 14CO2 at seed-setting stage for a 1 hr period. Seed was sampled periodically thereafter and the lipids were extracted. A triglyceride-rich fraction was methanolyzed ; the resultant methyl esters were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and assayed for radioactivity. Of the ClS unsaturated acids, oleic was the first to acqui...

introduction the demand for food and agricultural products are increasing in a line of population increasing in the world (alexandratos, 2003). it is possible to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural products via extending the farms and producing more products (astaaraei and koocheki, 1995). environmental problems caused by synthetic fertilizers and the high levels of producing and ...

in this work, the effect of three-day germination on proximate composition, total phenolic compounds, fatty acid profile, vitamin c content, radical scavenging activity, malondialdehyde content and reducing power of safflower seed was investigated. apart from ash, other parameters including oil, protein and crude fiber contents decreased significantly during germination. phenolics content incre...
