Whole-genome resequencing of 240 safflower

This project provides whole-genome resequencing data for a diverse collection of 240 safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) accessions. Safflower is an important oilseed and medicinal crop. The generated data serve as a foundational genomic resource for the research community. It will facilitate studies on genetic diversity, population structure, and genomic variation within the safflower germplasm. This dataset is valuable for identifying genetic markers, understanding evolutionary history, and accelerating molecular breeding programs aimed at improving agronomic traits such as oil quality, disease resistance, and stress tolerance in safflower.
