VARIATIONS IN THE AGRONOMIC AND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN SAFFLOWER (Carthamus tinctorius L.) GENOTYPES

Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the agronomic and quality characteristics of domestic and foreign safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes in the 2011-2012 growing season in Isparta. In the study, 39 safflower genotypes were used as the plant material. The highest 1000 seed weight and hull content were detected in Ziyang. Arizona SC III was determined as the genotype with the lowest 1000 seed weight, hull content, seed yield, and oil yield. The highest seed yield was recorded in UC-1 (215.9 kg da-1). Oil contents of the genotypes ranged from 22.6 to 33.8% on average and Arizona SC III, Oleic Leed, Centennial, Finch, Ole, S-517, Enana and Leed were determined as the genotypes with the highest oil content. Variation for oleic acid was between 11.1 and 68.3% in 2011 and between 12.0 and 71.6% in 2012. Linoleic acid content varied between 18.0 and 74.7% in 2011 and between 14.2 and 73.9% in 2012. Montola 2000, Ole, UC-1, NO 55-663 and S-517 were found to contain more than 60% oleic acid. Both performances of the genotypes used in the study could further examined by cultivating in different locations and a successful hybridization program compatible with the desired goals of breeding may be drawn up using wide variations reported among the examined morphological and agronomic characters.

SUPERIOR LINES FOR AGRO-TECHNOLOGICAL TRAITS IN SAFFLOWER (Carthamus tinctorius L.)

“…In our study, the differences of hull content between the years may be slightly due to environmental impact. In other studies, similar results were obtained for hull content in safflower (Adali and Ozturk, 2016;Erbas et al, 2016). One of the most important goals in safflower breeding is to increase the oil content and to reach the optimum level with seed and oil yield.…”

“…It has been reported that seed yield varies between 84.9-163.0 kg da -1 in F5 lines derived from crossing Dincer 5-118 × Remzibey-05 safflower varieties (Erbas and Baydar, 2007); 119.5-460.7 kg da -1 in F1 population, 22.7-635.6 kg da -1 in F2 population (Erbas, 2012), 26.0-353.0 kg da -1 in F3 population and 74.5-225.3 kg da -1 in F4 population (Baydar and Erbas, 2014) derived from crossing Dincer 5-118 × Montola 2000 safflower varieties. On the other hand, Erbas and Baydar (2011) and Erbas et al (2016) reported that seed yield of safflower ranged between 79.7-190.7 kg da -1 in 9 genotypes and 15.2-215.9 kg da -1 in 39 genotypes, respectively.…”

“…From studies about the harvest index of safflower plant was obtained different results. Erbas et al (2016) reported that the harvest index for 39 safflower genotypes ranged between 8.2-29.7%. It is reported that additive alleles were play a more effective role in the inheritance of harvest index in safflower (Golkar and Shahsavari, 2011).…”

EVALUATION AND POOLING OF SAFFLOWER (Carthamus tinctorius L.) ACCESSIONS FROM DIFFERENT WORLD ORIGINS USING AGRO-MORPHOLOGICAL TRAITS.

“…5(7), 926-934 927 of the world (Amini et al, 2007). In comparison with other oilseed crops, safflower is characterized by high adaptation ability in regions where winter months are cool and summer months are arid (Erbas et al, 2016).…”

In vitro bioaccessibility, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of three different safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes

“…These genotypes were grown in a trial area located at the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Isparta (longitude 30º33' E, latitude 37°47' N, elevation 997 m) under the soil and climatic conditions in 2016. The soil properties of the trial area were assessed according to the method proposed by Rowell (1996) and reported based on the results in a previous study (Erbas et al, 2016). The experiments were not irrigated.…”
