Although safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is classified as an oil plant, it is an important industrial plant whose use is not limited to vegetable oil production. It is used in a wide range of sectors from drug making, paint industry, cosmetic product development, various food production, ruminant, and poultry nutrition to biodiesel production, which has a place in traditional and modern medicine. The gene center of the safflower plant is Anatolia, it has a high adaptability to different ecologies, especially to drought and barren areas, its cultivation is similar to the grain production that the farmer is used to, which has a weighted share in plant production in our country, it is compatible with grain mechanization, can be planted in summer and winter, it is a plant open to the development of new varieties. Safflower is an important alternative to sunflower and rapeseed to meet the oil need in our country. It is a valuable plant that can be used to bring fallow lands to agriculture. In this study, the safflower plant has been discussed in many ways and its importance for our country and world agriculture has been emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study was to determine the possible effects of pruning the side branches at different stages, designed as a single stem/single head, on the growth and development characteristics of the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) plant and its agricultural potential under the different plant spacing. In the research, which was established with 3 replications according to the split-plot, 3 pruning times (beginning of budding, end of budding and beginning of flowering) and 3 different row distances (15 x 10, 30 x 10, and 45 x 10 cm) were applied. While pruning treatments had positive effects on chlorophyll content, plant height, head diameter, seed number, and 1000 seed weight, they had negative effects on seed weight, harvest index, oil ratio, seed and oil yield. Chlorophyll content, plant height, the number of branches, head diameter, the number of heads, the number of seeds, seed weight, and 1000 seed weight increased as row spacing widened; harvest index, seed and oil yield decreased; oil ratio was unaffected. The research findings showed that pruning time and sowing distances had non-significant effect on fatty acid composition. Despite having more seeds and a heavier 1000 seed weight, plants with a single stem/single head had lower seed and oil yields because they did not have as many heads as branched plants. The research findings are important in providing data that can be a role model for genetically non-branching plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important source of edible oil and bioenergy with its high quality oil in its seeds. In this research, seed mixtures were made in advanced generation safflower lines to benefit from both the natural heterosis effect and the advantages of multi-line varieties. Three safflower lines (BAY-ER 2, BAY-ER 5 and BAY-ER 15) with similar phenological characteristics, but different seed and oil yields were used. Pure, double (1/2 + 1/2) and triple (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3) seed mixture ratios were grown under open pollination condition. The partial hybrid seeds were planted in randomized block experimental design with three replicates in the following year to evaluate the the agricultural and quality characteristics. Statistically significant differences were found between pure lines and mixtures in terms of plant height, number of branches, number of heads, 1000 grain weight, seed hull ratio, oil ratio, seed yield and oil yield. Double and triple seed mixtures showed higher yield performance than pure lines, and high mixing efficiency was obtained as 50.7% from BAY-ER 2 + BAYER 15 and 44.0% from BAY-ER 5+ BAY-ER 15 binary mixtures. All the mixtures gave higher seed yield and oil ratio than their pure lines. Linoleic acid ratios in the lines and oleic acid ratios in the mixtures were found to be slightly higher. As a result, it has been understood that agricultural performance can be increased with different ratios of seed mixtures of a certain number of pure lines in safflower. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the socio-economic aspect of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) production in the Beyşehir district of Konya/Türkiye, as well as the profitability compared to other plants. In the study, data were collected from a total of 31 safflower producers in the Konya-Beyşehir district through a questionnaire, and economic analysis of safflower production was carried out as of 2019. The average safflower land is 22.21 decares and the grain yield per decare is 91.36 kg, and the average selling price is 1.2 TL. Variable costs per decare were 139.27 TL, total fixed costs per decare were 227.99 TL, and total production costs per decare were 367.26 TL. In the gross profit calculation made, the producer makes a loss of approximately 30 TL from safflower per decare. However, when oil is obtained from safflower, the gross profit per decare increases to 134.85 TL. Instead of selling the product they produce directly, it is possible for the safflower producers to add value to the product by processing the safflower seeds in cold press machines and extracting the oil. In this way, the producers in the region will be able to avoid losses and make a profit. This condition may also provide job opportunities for many oil processing establishments that are idle due to a lack of raw materials. The state should update the guarantee purchase support of the product applied in the past years and increase farmer training and extension services to utilize the uncultivated idle areas with safflower agriculture, expand the production of safflower, which is an alternating plant, and to use the safflower pulp as animal feed after processing in the industry.

In this study, was conducted in 2018, 2019 and 2020 at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Agriculture Faculty Department of Field Crops, it was aimed to determine morphological and technological traits of some oleic and mid-oleic type safflower genotypes developed by cross breeding. For this purpose, 11 F2 hybrid genotypes obtained from a cross between Dinçer 5-18-1 cultivar and PI 603208 genotype were used as material and compared to two standard oleic local cultivars and parents of these hybrids (Dinçer 5-18-1, PI 603208, Olas ve Asol). In study to determine the agricultural and technological traits, plant height (cm), branch number, head number, head diameter (cm), 1000 seed weight (g), seed yield (kg da-1), hull ratio (%), oil content (%), oil yield (kg da-1) and fatty acid composition (%) were investigated. According to research findings, seed yield values of hybrid genotypes changed between 120.73-187.80 kg da-1, oil content values 31.67-36.49% and oil yield values 40.43-63.92 kg da-1 and showed a wide variation. The highest oil content among hybrid genotypes were obtained from the EC/ol-7 genotype (36.49%), while the highest seed yield and oil yield among genotypes were obtained from the EC/ol-8 genotype (187.80 and 63.92 kg da-1 respectively). The highest oleic oil content among hybrid genotypes was obtained from the EC/ol-11 genotype (61.79%). In this study, it was determined that 5 genotypes in terms of oil content, seed yield and oleic acid composition (EC/ol 5, EC/ol 6, EC/ol 7, EC/ol 8 and EC/ol 11) are superior of the other genotypes in F2 generation. In addition, with the other genotypes, both stable and hopeful ones will be determined the next generations (F3 and F4). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was carried out in Samsun ecological conditions to determine the limits of change in oil content and fatty acid composition of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz.] plants, which are considered as oil plants. As a result of the research, it was determined that the variation in oil content was 6.86%, 4.30% and 3.07% in safflower, flax and camelina, respectively. The variation in palmitic and stearic acids, which are among the saturated fatty acids, was determined as 2.01%, 1.2%, 0.97% and 0.82%, 0.40% and 0.05% in safflower, flax and camelina, respectively. The variation in unsaturated fatty acids oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid was found to be 1.69%, 4.00%, 1.14%; 5.50%, 20.10%, 1.98% and 3.45%, 20.70%, 2.53% in safflower, flax and camelina, respectively. The variation in eicosenoic acid found in safflower and camelina, one of the unsaturated fatty acids, was determined as 0.20% and 1.34%, respectively, and the variation in erucic unsaturated fatty acid found only in camelina was figured out as 0.22%. As a result, it may be more advantageous to use the flax plant, which has a more limited saturated fatty acid composition and a wider variation in unsaturated fatty acid composition than other species, in breeding programs to develop new varieties with desired oil composition due to this genetic background. In addition, in terms of their unsaturated fatty acid compositions, it was determined that all three plant species could be an alternative source of biodiesel. The findings also show that safflower is a source of Omega-6 (80.93%), linseed is a source of Omega-3 (49.50%) and camelina is a potential alternative energy plant as well as a plant species that can be evaluated for medicinal purposes due to its high eicosenoic acid content (16.51%).

Oil-heat treatment is an environmentally friendly method to improve dimensional stabilization of wood. In this process, vegetable oil is used as a heating medium in different temperatures and times. In this study, maritime pine (Pinus pinaster marittima) and poplar (Populus euroamericana) samples subjected to oil heat treatment with safflower, linseed and hazelnut oil at 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C for 2,4 and 6 hours respectively. Water soaking was performed to untreated and oil-heat treated samples for two weeks. In this period water uptake and tangential swelling of the samples were measured. In addition, compression strength of the samples was determined parallel to the fiber direction. According to the results, oil-heat treatment considerably reduced the water uptake in maritime pine and poplar while the performance of only vacuum heat treatment was similar with control samples. The improvement in tangential swelling was clearly shown in the poplar samples rather than maritime pine. Vacuum-heat treatment and oil-heat treatment increased the compression strength of maritime pine compared to control samples.

This study was carried out to determine cross-pollination ratio in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in 2016-2018. Two safflower lines having two different characters (spiny and spineless) were used as the study material. The line with spiny and yellow flower (ES.TÇ.05.22.5) was used as a donor, spineless and red flower cultivar (ES.TÇ.07.2.1.4.1) was used as a receptor. The results demonstrated that average cross-pollination ratio calculated 2.09±0.122% and 2.87±0.155 % in 2017 and 2018, respectively. According to the results; in order to determine the proper breeding strategies and maintain the variety purity, in the areas where safflower breeding programs and seed production carried out, local researches aimed to calculate out-crossing rate are needed.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the saturated and unsaturated fatty acid compositions in herbage and straw of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L. Dinçer; thornless) plant as alternative forage for ruminant. Major fatty acids in safflower herbage and safflower straw were determined as linoleic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acids. The proportions of myristic, pentadecanoic, cis-10-pentadecenoic, palmitic, palmitoleic, cis-10-pentadecenoic, a-linolenic, ciseicosatrienoic, erucic, cis-docosahexaenoic, tricosanoic and lignoceric acids in total fat acids of safflower herbage were higher than those of safflower straw (P<0.01). The proportions of margaric, stearic, elaidic, oleic, linoleic, cis-11- eicoenioic, arachidonic, cis-eicosapentaenoic and nervonic acids in total fatty acids of safflower herbage were lower than those of safflower straw (P<0.001). The proportions of saturated fatty acid (SFA), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) and w-3, and w-3/w-6 ratio for fatty acids of safflower herbage were higher than those of safflower straw (P<0.001). The proportions of unsaturated fatty acid (UFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), w-6, w-9 and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in total fatty acids of safflower straw were higher than those of safflower herbage (P<0.001). Palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids contents as mg/g in dry matter (DM) of safflower herbage were lower than those of safflower straw. As a result, safflower herbage and safflower straw had a rich fatty acid content in mg/g DM. The proportions and amounts of essential fatty acids in safflower straw, which have important biological activity, were higher than safflower herbage. In general, these feedstuffs stand out as rich alternative forages in w-3 and w-6 fatty acids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The phytotoxic impact of safflower extracts prepared by different plant parts like stem and root of it on germination and seedling growth of plants like wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were studied. Root and stem extracts of safflower at 2.5, 5 and 10% concentrations were obtained from safflower residuals after harvest of the plants. Mean germination time and percentage, root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight of seedlings were investigated. Essential oil composition of both root and stem extracts were determined. Results indicated that extract doses significantly influenced mean germination time of sunflower and chickpea. Germination time of wheat and barley also decreased with the increasing extract doses. The other growing parameters of all crops were also decreased with extract doses. The main essential oil compound of root extract was 1-Pentadecene (47.78%) followed by 2-Naphthalenemethanol (33.07%). The main essential oil compound of stem extract was 2-Naphthalenemethanol (49.15%) followed by Lauryl alcohol (22.26%). Root and stem extracts of safflower showed different effects. Stem extract mostly had severe impact on sunflower while root extract had this impact on wheat and barley. Consequently, removing stem parts of the safflower from field could reduce the amount of secondary metabolites released from the plant parts.

In this study, the shortening of the breeding period was targeted in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) by zygotic immature seeds culture on the 12th day after hybridization. Dinçer 5-118, Remzibey-05 and Balcı varieties were used in this study and the hybridizations were done according to half-diallel hybridization method. The general success rate was 48.55% in hybridization and 584 numbers zygotic immature seeds were cultured from 150 receptacle during the study. As a result, the highest success rate of regeneration in cultured embryos was obtained from M5519 medium (15.82%) followed by MSD4 (13.43%) and LS2.5 mediums (6.21%). As a result, hybrid seed production can be achieved by using the embryo or zygotic immature seeds culture technique in the safflower and the breeding process can be shortened. Based on these results, the nutrienth media, used for embryo culture, should not be including hormones such as BAP and 2.4-D. If the growth regulators are added after seed germination and the plant is obtained, will be increase success rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an annual plant with number of thistle or thistle less cultivars with broad-leaves, oil and different flower colored varieties. They are tolerant to drought with varying oil percentage of 30-50%. It is known that demand of vegetable oil is increasing every day. Therefore, safflower is an increasingly important plant among the oil seed plants. The aim of the study was to determine the efficiency of the safflower cultivars by maintaining 20, 30, 40 cm row to row and 5, 10, 15 cm plant to plant distance under Ankara conditions during 2015 using cv. Ayaz and Linas. Parameters like plant height (cm), number of lateral branches attached to the main stem, number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, seed yield (kg da-1) and oil percentage (%) were examined. Significant interactions were noted among all evaluated parameters for row spacings x plant to plant distances x cultivars. When the average values were taken into consideration, the highest yield per plant was found in cv Ayaz with yield of 46.53 g. Maximum seed yield of 157.7 kg da-1 and oil percentage of 47.90% was also determined on cv. Ayaz using 30x10 cm. When the results of the research were compared collectively, it was concluded that cv. Ayaz was more advantageous compared to the cv. Linas under the tested climate and soil conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to all years and combined analysis results of this study, lines GE-ESYA-36-36, GE-ES-YA-36-7 in terms of seed yield, lines GE-ES-YA-36-30, GE-ES-YA-36-25, GE-ES-YA-36-26, GEES-YA-36-27 in terms of oil content and lines GE-ES-YA-36-36, GE-ES-YA-36-7, GE-ES-YA-36-4 terms of oil yield were listed at the highest statistical group. As a result of this study, it was decided that these lines could be candidate varieties with regard to these different characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the main reasons why safflower is not widely planted is that its yield is very low. Suddenly increasing temperatures and drought during growth and development stages of safflower planted in arid areas affect adversely yield. Why yield of safflower is low is that currently registered varieties are still planted in spring of the Central Anatolia and the most of course of its development stage in the spring coincides with period of drought, lack of rain. Populations from USA gene bank and Turkish land races were fall planted to be exposed to cold tests under the field conditions of Konya, during the growing seasons from 2008 to 2015. Some of safflower lines selected from fall planted nurseries were superior to the spring planted counterparts, 50 % higher yielding. On the other hand, spring type germplasm development is still main priority of our safflower breeding program. In this context, we already improved a spring type safflower line, namely BDYAS-4, with oil content of 35-37 % and showing better yield performance than currently registered cultivars do. Finally, this line was registered as GÖKTÜRK in 2016. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3 projects in the subjects of sowing time, irrigation and fertilizer doses were carried out and extension activities finalized by the GAP Agricultural Research Institute Directorate between 2007-2013 years under Sanliurfa conditions. In the projects, it was aimed to determine the appropriate planting time and fertilizer doses (nitrogen, phosphorus) and irrigation effects on yield for the safflower plant grown under region conditions. In the planting time study; the highest seed yield was reported from the October 30 with 4260 kg ha-1 and the lowest yield from the April 5 with 980 kg ha-1 (Hatipoglu et al., 2012). In the irrigation study; the differences were not found statistically between the yields of winter safflower seed, at the summer safflower the planting S8 subject(stem elongation period 1 water + before flowering 1 water + seed formation phase 1 water), in limited irrigation conditions the S9 subject (50% of the amount of applied water to S8) proposed(Nacar et al., 2015). In the fertilizer dose study; it was concluded that the fertilizer doses of 7.6 kg/da N and 6.2 kg/da P205 should be applied for optimum yield under the Talat Demirören Research Station conditions, the fertilizer doses of 5.4 kg/da N and 3.9 kg/da P205 should be applied for optimum yield under the Tatlıca Research Station conditions(Saracoglu et al., 2016).

In this review, the possibilities of using the safflower in laying hens and broiler nutrition were discussed. In poultry production, feed costs constitute significant portion of the production costs. The golden rule of lowering feed costs is added to ratio a new alternative protein source cheaper than soybean meal which constitutes a significant portion of the feed cost. In this sense, safflower could be an important alternative. Nutrients content of safflower meal is vary depending upon the method of processing. When safflower meal is compared with soybean meal, dehulled safflower meal is almost equivalent to soybean meal. However, when safflower meal is specially processed it is superior every aspect than soybean meal. Safflower is a feed that can be successfully added to the broilers and laying hens feed within certain limits. When an amount of the safflower seed, meal or oil are added to the layer diets, egg unsaturated fatty acids content increases, and egg cholesterol level decreases. In addition, addiction of safflower in ratio can reduce cholesterol levels in broiler meat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was conducted with Dinçer cultivar in Ankara ecological conditions in 2010 and 2011. As the nitrogen fertilizer the amonium sulfate was used and as the phosphorus fertilizer the triple super phosphate was used in this study. The experiment was established with The Randomized Complete Block in a Split Plot Design. Nitrogen doses are N0=0, N1=5, N2=10, N3=15 ve N4=20 kg da-1, phosphorus doses are P0=0, P1=3, P2= 6 ve P3= 9 kg da-1 The objective of this study was to determine the influence of different phosphorous doses and nitrogen doses on crude oil ratio and fatty acid composition of safflower. According to the results of this study, in 2010 vegetation season, mean data for crude oil ratio and fatty acid composition among different phosphorous doses and nitrogen doses ranged from 21.33-27.83 % and 75,30-76,50 % respectively. In 2011 vegetation season, same character was registered as 22.87-27.33 % and 57,60-78,70 %. Nitrogen and phosphorus applications were positively affect fat values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research which aims to determine the performances showed in the autumn and spring sowing times of four different safflower varieties was carried out during 2013-2015 years. The study has arranged according to the split plot trial design in randomized complete block as three replications. In the study,plant height, number of side branch attached to main branch, head number per plant, seed number in the head, 1000 seed weight, seed yields and, correlation relationships in the between of this characteristics were examined. Sowing time for examined all characteristics has established significant differences. Superior performances to spring sowings from autumn sowings were obtained. Remzibey-05 variety has received first place in terms of number of side branch attached to main branch,head number per plant seed number in the head and seed yield. When consideringtheperformancesof varieties according tosowing times, the highest seed yield was given Remzibey-05 variety sown in the autumn with 3156.6 kg ha-1. Yenice variety that sown in the spring has occured the lowest seed yield with value 1098.3 kg ha-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
