This research focused on determining the variation in stomatal characteristics among five safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivars Balcı, Dinçer, Yekta, Linas, and Olas. Stomata number, stomata width, length, size, and index were investigated, and their relationships were calculated. The results showed that there were significant differences for stomata number, length, and size among the investigated safflower cultivars. The stomata number of the safflower cultivars varied between 292 and 580 number/mm2, and stoma size was 563 and 703 μm2. The stomata indexes of the safflower cultivars were insignificantly changed between 1.38 and 1.47 and stomata width was 19.8-21.9 μm. The lowest stomata density was counted in Yekta and Olas, while the highest stomata number was observed in Dinçer which was the only spineless cultivar in the study. No significant correlations between stomata number and other traits were determined. It was concluded that stomata number should be used for separating safflower cultivars, and stomatal properties may considerably contribute to clarifying the agronomic performances of safflower cultivars under different environment conditions.
