Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is one of the drought-tolerant oilseed crops cultivated in saline and arid regions of Uzbekistan. This article presents an overview of the morphological structure of safflower, as well as its photosynthetic characteristics, water and mineral nutrient metabolism, hormonal regulation, stress tolerance, and molecular-genetic mechanisms. Safflower exhibits a C₃ type of photosynthesis and conserves water under drought conditions through stomatal closure and the maintenance of osmotic pressure.
