Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Sacramento Valley seeds reached 0.50% FFA.
- Observation San Joaquin Valley seeds did not exceed 0.10% FFA.
- Mechanism High seed FFA was attributed to lipolytic seed-borne fungi, especially Alternaria.
- Intervention effect Greenhouse fungal inoculation reduced safflower yields and oil content.
- Observation Alternaria and four other fungi showed lipolytic activity on safflower oil medium.
- Observation Alternaria produced 3.90% FFA after 20 days on the medium.
- Observation All five fungi released fatty acids in proportions similar to safflower oil.
