“…However, qualitative morphological traits were either not measured (Amini et al, 2008;Ebrahimi et al, 2017;Sabzalian et al, 2009;Talebi & Abhari, 2016), ignored during statistical analysis (Ali, Yilmaz, et al, 2020;Dwivedi et al, 2005), or handled wrongly, as if they were quantitative (Khan et al, 2009;Kumar et al, 2016). Nevertheless, it is well known that genetic diversity of crop species is better assessed and exploited by combining phenotypic descriptors and molecular DNA markers (Golkar & Karimi, 2019). The molecular markers reflect differences in the nucleotide sequence of genotypes, whereas morphological traits (phenotype) indicate the expression of genotype, environment, and their interaction (Adugna et al, 2006).…”

Combining phenotypic and genotypic germplasm characterization is a key to efficient and successful safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) breeding program by identifying valuable and confirmed parents. This study aimed to investigate and use appropriate statistical methods for such a characterization, and to identify potential genetic pools in safflower germplasm that may be useful for breeding program implementation. The genetic diversity of 45 accessions from different countries, provided by the USDA-ARS, was assessed during two cropping seasons, using agromorphological traits and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) molecular markers. Agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis (AHCA) was used with appropriate similarity distances, and Ward and unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) linkages. Agreement between distance-linkage combinations was evaluated using cophenetic correlation, Mantel test, Fisher exact test, Cramer's V, overall accuracy, and Cohen's κ. Both agromorphological phenotyping and molecular genotyping revealed significant genetic diversity. Ward linkage was better than UPGMA, using simple matching distance for molecular markers and Gower distance for phenotypic traits as well as for combined phenotypic traits and molecular markers. It delineated the studied accessions into four main clusters. Some accessions showed desirable profiles that can be used in future breeding programs. This is the first report of a series of appropriate statistical methods that can be used for assessing genetic diversity in safflower, combining phenotypic traits and molecular markers, and thus identifying relevant genetic pools for breeding program.

“…The lower amount of linoleic acid in safflower seed oil was determined by Celenk, Gumus¸, Argon, Buyukhelvacigil, and Karasulu [ 27 ]; they reported 58.2% linoleic acid in the oil. Recently, a safflower breeding effort has led to high oleic fatty acids in safflower hybrid selections [ 28 ]. These plants are more suitable for biobased applications (such as the production of biolubricants, bioherbicides, bioplastics, etc.)…”

Oils derived from non-traditional seeds, such as safflower, milk thistle, and black cumin seeds, have recently grown in popularity. Seed oil is in high demand due to consumer interest in illness prevention and health promotion through healthier diets that include a high concentration of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant phenolic components. This study assessed the quality characteristics of cold-pressed seed oil at three unique storage times: at the beginning of the trial (i.e., before storage), after 2 months, and after 4 months. The results of the performed analyses indicate that the acidity of extracted black cumin, safflower, and milk thistle seed oil fluctuates considerably over time. The highest acidity level change was detected for black cumin seed oil, from 10.26% after the extraction to 16.96% after 4 months of storage at 4 °C. Consequently, changes between pre- and post-storage peroxide concentrations were discernible after four months. Peroxide value in milk thistle and safflower seed oils increased by 0.92 meq/kg and 2.00 meq/kg, respectively, during the assessed storage time, while that of black cumin was very high and fluctuated. The storage period substantially affects oxidative changes and the oxidation stability of the oil. Major changes were observed in the polyunsaturated fatty acids in seed oil during storage. The essential changes were detected in the black cumin seed oil odor profile after 4 storage months. Their quality and stability, as well as the nature of the changes that occur during the storage of oil, require extensive investigation.

“…Through selection and/ or hybridization with local lines, this material can then be used for breeding in other countries. Safflower cultivars were produced in the twentieth century in the United States, Canada, and Argentina, using material imported from India, Russia, and Turkey [93]. The most complicated variables in safflower are seed yield and oil content, and selection for these traits is impeded by substantial genetic-environmental interactions.…”

Genetic manipulation is a strong tool for modifying crops to produce a considerably wider range of valuable products which gratifies human health benefits and industrial needs. Oilseed crops can be modified both for improving the existing lipid products and engineering novel lipid products. Global demand for vegetable oils is rising as a result of rising per capita consumption of oil in our dietary habits and its use in biofuels. There are numerous potential markets for renewable, carbon-neutral, ‘eco-friendly’ oil-based compounds produced by crops as substitutes for non-renewable petroleum products. Existing oil crops, on the other hand, have limited fatty acid compositions, making them unsuitable for use as industrial feedstocks. As a result, increasing oil output is necessary to fulfill rising demand. Increasing the oil content of oilseed crops is one way to increase oil yield without expanding the area under cultivation. Besides, the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical values of oilseed crops are being improved by genetic engineering techniques. This chapter addresses the current state of the art gene manipulation strategies followed in oilseed crops for oil modification to fulfill the growing human needs.
