Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate essential oil composition of the flowers of 14 Carthamus tinctorius L. (Safflower - Asteraceae) lines and varieties developed selection breeding method and their reaction to rainfed and irrigated conditions. Essential oil was extracted from dried flowers by SPME, which were then analyzed by using GC -HD and GC/MS for determining full composition.
