An Agronomic Evaluation of New Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Germplasm for Seed and Oil Yields under Mediterranean Climate Conditions

2019

Interest in oilseed crops for agro-industrial research and development projects has increased in the Mediterranean area, in recent years. Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is of potential interest for agriculture mainly due to fatty acid content variability in the seed oil. The aim of this study was to assess the agronomic performance of 16 new safflower accessions together with safflower variety Montola 2000, used as a reference, in a semi-arid environment. Research was carried out in Sicily (Italy) from 2013&ndash

Safflower Yellow and Its Main Component HSYA Alleviate Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice: Possible Involvement of the Increased Antioxidant Enzymes in Liv…

2020

PurposeOxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of obesity and its associated disorders. Safflower yellow (SY) and hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), the natural compounds isolated from Carthamus tinctorius L., has been found to possess antioxidative and anti-obesity properties. The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether SY and its main component HSYA alleviate obesity by the antioxidant effects.MethodsDiet-induced obese (DIO) mice were treated with 200 mg/kg/d SY or HSYA for 10 weeks. Body weight, fat mass, serum biochemical parameters and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were measured. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests were performed. The expression…

Estudio anatómico-histológico de las flores del endemismo Lamottea diania (Asteraceae) y de los efectos del ozono troposférico sobre su desarrollo.

"Estudio anatómico-histológico de las flores del endemismo Lamottea diania (Asteraceae) y de los efectos del ozono troposférico sobre su desarrollo". Lilloa 53 (2). Plantas del endemismo Lamottea diania se expusieron en cámaras OTC (Open Top Chambers) a aire ambiente filtrado y a aire ambiente no filtrado más 30 ppb de ozono para observar el efecto de este contaminante sobre el desarrollo de sus flores, particularmente sobre su androceo. Hemos comprobado, mediante estudios de microscopía óptica y electrónica, que el ozono afecta el proceso de desarrollo y maduración de los estambres y del polen. Las anteras se ven afectadas, en unos casos al abortar algunos estambres en su desarrollo y, en …
