Effects of Genotype and Climatic Conditions on the Oil Content and Its Fatty Acids Composition of <i>Carthamus tinctorius</i> L. Seeds

Safflower seeds provide an oil rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its adaptation to drought and high temperatures makes it an alternative for the development of oleaginous crops in semi-arid areas. This study examines the oil content and the chemical composition of seed oil from three saf...
