GULCIN ISIK1*AND SEMA LEBLEBICI
Abstract
In this study, seeds belonging to two varieties of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) grown for biodiesel production, RemziBey and Dinçer, were used. The seeds were germinated in Petri dishes containing double layer filter papers and exposed to 16 hours light/8 hours dark photoperiod, 25±1˚C, with three repetitions (100 seeds per dish x 3). Different boric acid concentrations (10, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500 ppm) were applied on seeds. Observed data was analyzed by using JMP-SAS .As a result, it was observed that there is not an important statistically relationships between seed germination of Dinçer variety of Carthamus tinctorius and boric acid concentrations (r2= 0,120, t= 30, 04, p
