A Reduced-Hull Seed Character of Safflower1

A. L. Urie and D. E. Zimmer2

We found an achene (seed) characteristic, reduced-hull, in progeny of a cross between normal-hull safflower (Curthamus tinctorius L. var. ‘Ute’) and a purple-striped line. The reduced-hull character results from a reduction of the outer sclerenchyma layers of the pericarp. Experimental reduced-hull lines possess 27 to 33% hull, 41 to 44% oil, and they significantly out-yield ‘US-10,’ a standard check variety.

Key Words: Carthamus tinctorius L.
