Abstract
(Carthamus tinctorius L.) is highly regarded in the world as an aromatic, spicy, medicinal and oilseed crop, which can be used in all kinds of industries. It inhabits arid and semiarid areas of the world. The influence of the relatively low NaCl concentrations found in soils and irrigation waters on the growth and metabolism of saf?flower, grown under semi-controlled conditions, was examined in this work. It was found that increased concentrations of NaCl affected the number of leaves per plant and dry leaves mass/area ratio. The transpiration intensity was reduced in plants grown in the presence of NaCl and stomatal diffusive resistance increased following an increase in NaCl concentration.
