Abstract :This study was conducted to investigate the effects of NaCl concentrations on germination ratio, shoot length,shoot fresh and dry weight of some safflower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Carthamus tinctorius L.); cultivars and line in 2010. Seeds of Shifa and Remzibey cultivars and TAEK-USLU line were used as material. Seven different doses insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0,5 %, 0,7 %, 1 %, 2 %, 3 % and 4 %); of NaCl solutions were used in this experiment. Distilled water served as control. Germination percentage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%);, shoot length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cm);, shoot fresh and dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mg); were measured at 14 days after sowing. Germination percentage decreased with increased NaCl concentration. All cultivars and line germinated in all salinities, with the exception of 4 % NaCI. The greatest germination percentage at 0 % NaCI was 98,67 % for Remzibey cultivar. The lowest germination percentage at 4 % NaCI was 0 % for Remzibey, Shifa cultivars and TAEK-USLU line. The greatest shoot length at 0 % NaCI was 8,15 cm for Shifa cultivar. The lowest shoot length at 3 and 4% NaCl was 0 cm for Remzibey, Shifa cultivars and TAEK-USLU line. The greatest shoot fresh and dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mg); at 0 % NaCI was 180,33 mg and 25,33 mg for Shifa cultivar, respectively. The lowest fresh and dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mg); at 3 and 4 % was 0 mg and 0 mg for Remzibey, Shifa cultivars and TAEK-USLU line, respectively. As a result Shifa cultivars can be useful as a genetic resources for the development of safflower cultivars with improved germination under salt stress.
