“…This is in line with other studies about marigold and chamomile, which showed that flowers harvested at an earlier harvest date tend to be larger and thus have more weight [66,86]. Reasons for the cultivar differences could be the genetically influenced weight of the capitula [87,88], or, for example, the origin of the cultivar, which also has an influence on the size of the capitula [89]. The study by Knowles [89] showed that cultivars from the Middle East and Egypt had the largest capitula size, C2 had a higher average individual capitula weight than C1 (Figure 4).…”

The industrial need for safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) increased over the last decade due to its potential use as food colorant. Safflower is mainly cultivated in Asia for its use as floret. In Germany, an economically attractive cultivation for floret use would require a mechanization of harvest. In order to develop a mechanical harvesting system, field experiments were conducted at the experimental station Ihinger Hof of the University Hohenheim in 2017 and 2018. Safflower was harvested with a combine harvester to obtain the florets. Two safflower (i) cultivars were harvested with (ii) three threshing parameter settings on (iii) five harvest dates to evaluate threshed floret yield, dry matter and carthamidin content, and carthamidin yield. Results showed that the maximum threshed floret yield was achieved at the latest harvest date (784.78–1141.76 kg ha−1), while the highest carthamidin contents were observed depending on cultivar on the first two harvest dates (0.53–3.14%). The decisive and resulting amount of carthamidin yield reached its maximum with the Chinese cultivar and the threshing parameter setting P3 between the fourth and fifth harvest date in 2018 (19.05–19.36 kg ha−1). Highest dry matter contents were achieved at the last harvest date (62.67–77.77%). Individual capitula weight and carthamidin content decreased with later harvest dates. Further investigations should clarify whether the individual capitula weight and carthamidin content correlate with each other or are independent of the date of harvest. This could be a decisive criterion for the selection of cultivars for harvesting florets with a combine harvester. Reduced costs of machine harvesting compared to hand harvesting will make the cultivation of safflower for the food coloring industry in Germany more attractive in the future.

“…In comparison, high linoleic safflower varieties contain 87-89 % linoleic acid and high oleic acid varieties constitute over 85 % oleic acid. In recent years, safflower has become a major oilseed crop with good oil and fatty acid composition (Çamaş and Esendal 2006;Yeilaghi et al 2012). Safflower oil contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acid; however, the composition of the oil was not affected by drought.…”

Safflower is one of the oldest cultivated crops, usually grown at a small scale. Safflower is grown for flowers used for coloring, flavoring foods, dyes, medicinal properties, and livestock feed. Safflower is underutilized but gaining attention due to oil yield potential and the ability to grow under high temperatures, drought, and salinity. Salinity and drought have negative effects by disrupting the ionic and osmotic equilibrium of the plant cells. The stress signal is perceived by membranes then transduced in the cell to switch on the stress responsive genes. This review discusses on stress tolerance mechanisms in safflower. Strategies are proposed for enhancing drought and salt resistance in safflower.

“…Based on multivariate statistical methods, number of heads, grain yield and days to flowering have been reported as the most important variables for grain yield variation in safflower genotypes (Çamaș et al ., 2005; Golparvar, 2011; Karimi et al ., 2013; La Bella et al ., 2019). These characters are affected by environmental conditions and genotypic differences (Çamaş and Esendal, 2006; Arslan, 2007). Therefore, the present study was aimed to assess the yield components as well as morphophonological traits of safflower genotypes (collected from more than 30 countries) and to determine their interrelationships through multivariate analysis to select superior safflower genotypes.…”

To identify appropriate genotypes for breeding varieties suitable for semi-arid areas, yield components, as well as morphophonological traits of 127 safflower genotypes, were assessed at the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Iran. Cluster analysis revealed four distinct groups. The largest group (third cluster) includes 48 genotypes with characteristics such as mostly yellow-coloured flowers, mostly thorny with few thistle genotypes, relatively early-flowering, relatively high number of heads and grains per plant, highest 1000-grain weight with the highest grain yields. In contrast, the smallest group (second cluster) contains 13 genotypes with characteristics such as yellow florets, semi-dwarf, thorny, moderately late-flowering, low number of heads per plant and number of grains per head, low 1000-grain weight, and low grain yield. Principal component analysis results showed that the three components accounted for 29.5, 15.9 and 11.1% of the total variation, respectively. Graphic representation of the biplots based on the first and second principal components showed that the experimental genotypes were classified into four groups. The results also indicated that stem diameter, the number of branches, heads per plant and grains per head had the highest correlation with the first component, and grain yield, flower colour, flowering initiation and plant height had the highest correlation with the second component. These traits can be considered as an appropriate index for the selection of elite safflower genotypes for breeding varieties suited to cultivation in semi-arid conditions.
