Abstract :In safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) breeding, determining superior pure lines after crossing for agro-technological traits is the first step to improve new cultivar candidates. Therefore, aim of the study was to determine superior pure lines of sufflower in F9-10 derived three intraspecific crosses evaluating the agronomical and technological (quality) traits. A total of 25 safflower genotypes including 15 pure lines was compared with 10 standard cultivars (Dincer 5-18-1, Centennial, Remzibey-05, Balci, Linas, Olas, Gelendost-2, Gokturk, Montola 2000 and W6 9822) and genotypes along with parents of lines for two years in 2017-2018. GEMO-20 had higher 1000-seed weight, GECE-8 and GEMO-20 had higher oil content, GEMO-19, 28 and GEW6-7 had higher oil yield, GEMO-28 and GEW6-7 had higher seed yield than standard cultivars. According to 1000-seed weight, oil content, seed and oil yield traits, GEMO-19, GEMO-20, GEMO-28 and GEW6-7 lines were identified as superior lines.Keywords : Advanced lines, Carthamus tinctorius, quality traits, safflower, yield and yield traits
