Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oil plant, which is an industrial raw material source containing high quality unsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid and a-linolenic acid. Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline group herbicide that is applied to plants of economic value for weed control. Salicylic acid is an important herbal hormone involved in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. Omega-3 fatty acid desaturases (FAD3 and FAD7) are key enzymes for a-linolenic acid biosynthesis. In present study, the effects of pendimethalin and salicylic acid on the gene expression levels of FAD3 and FAD7 involved in fatty acid metabolism were investigated. In this study, 0,004 and 0,01 M pendimethalin were applied to safflower plants grown under controlled climatic conditions in 36 pots. 0,05 mM salicylic acid was applied to the samples where pendimethalin was applied. After application, RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed. The fold change between the test and control groups was calculated with the formula 2 (delta delta CT). The change between gene expression levels was evaluated by t test (p<0,05). It was determined that pendimethalin downregulated FAD3 and FAD7 genes and decreased gene expression levels dependant to pendimethalin concentration. It was determined that salicylic acid had a decreasing effect on the toxic effects caused by pendimethalin and upregulated the FAD3 and FAD7 genes. Pendimethalin is thought to cause a decrease in fatty acid quality and a-linolenic acid biosynthesis in Carthamus tinctorius L. cv. Remzibey, salicylic acid has a negative effect on pendimethalin and contributes to partial increase in a-linolenic acid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
