Abstract :This research was carried out in the research field of Agricultural Faculty, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey. Field experiments were carried out in two growing seasons insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2011 and 2012); according to “Randomized Complete Block Design” with three replications. In the study, a total of 13 promised safflower insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Carthamus tinctorius L.); lines insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A13, A29, C12, E12, F4, F5, F6, G16, H3, J19, Y1-8-14-1, AOL-2insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2);, DP 1.5.8-1); and 5 cultivars insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Black Sun1, KS 06 and Oleic Leed, Dinçer, Remzibey); were used as material. Oil content of the safflower genotypes were ranged in between 24.05-33.18%. The highest protein content value was obtained from J19 line insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(21.72%); while the lowest was found on the Turkish cultivar of Remzibey insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(16.03%);. Negative correlations were found for oil content and hull thickness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.3152**);, hull ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.7122**); and pappus ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.3408**);. Protein content was found as significantly and negative correlated with some characters, similar to the seed widness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r = -0.2546**);, seed thickness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.1918*);, geometric diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.3194**);, seed surface area insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.3119**);, pappus ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.3114**); and 100-seed weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=-0.2597);, respectively. According to the results, increasing the dimension and geometrical values cause to a decrease in the oil and protein content of safflower seeds. Quality components insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(oil and protein content); showed negative correlations with both of pappus rate and hull features
