Genetic resources are the fundamental source of diversity available to plant breeders for the
improvement of desired traits. However, a large germplasm set is difficult to preserve and …

Over the past three decades, molecular marker studies reached extraordinary advances,
especially for sequencing and bioinformatics techniques. Marker-assisted selection became …

Safflower is a multi-purpose oilseed crop, primarily known for good quality oil containing
highest polyunsaturated fatty acid content (> 80%) among edible oils. In this study, a core …

The study of population genetics among the Bemisia tabaci complex is limited due to the
lack of conserved molecular markers. In this study, 358, 433 and 322 new polynucleotide …

Host plant resistance is an effective means of managing aphid pests in safflower but its
genetic basis is not known. In this study, F1 and F6‐recombinant inbred lines (RILs) …

Safflower is grown primarily for edible oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Due to higher
stability and longer shelf life, the oil with high oleic acid content is preferred for food and …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are among the most important markers for population
analysis and have been widely used in plant genetic mapping and molecular breeding …

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a nutritionally and pharmaceutically important
oleaginous crop cultivated for its seed oil. There is ever-increasing demand for edible oil in …

Safflower is a traditional oilseed crop in the world. Its seed oil is a healthy edible oil
containing high amount of unsaturated fatty acids. Genetically diverse exotic cultivars are …

Microsatellite markers are the ideal genetic markers for crop improvement. In this study, we
developed and characterized a set of 200 genomic SSR markers in safflower, an important …
