Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a multipurpose oilseed crop is the only cultivated species in the Carthamus
genus. Carthamus spp. have been explored for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses but not for physiological
efficiency. Photosynthetic traits of ten wild and ten cultivated species and six interspecific inbred lines were studied
to understand the expression of the photosynthetic traits among them, and for trait introgression from wild species
in interspecific derivatives. Relations among some physiological traits in interspecific inbred lines differed from
those observed in wild and cultivated species. The high photosynthesis (Pn), low transpiration (E) and high intrinsic
water use efficiency (iWUE) could be introgressed from the wild species, C. lanatus and C. turkesthanicus into
safflower cultivars. Inheritance of photosynthetic traits from wild to cultivated species indicated that wild species
are exploitable for safflower improvement. This study suggests the utilization of wild species for their high Pn, low E and iWUE characteristics for developing abiotic stress-tolerant safflower cultivars.
