Project Overview
Developing high combining, high oil, high yielding, and wilt resistant diverse inbred parental lines for safflower hybrid breeding. Developing safflower hybrids with high seed yield (>14q under rainfed, >20q under irrigation), oil content (30% & above), and resistance to Fusarium wilt
