Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) plants were affected by a severe root rot disease caused by Phytophthora drechsleri and Fusarium solani in Isfahan province of Iran during 2005–2007. Disease incidence was more than 30% in severely infected fields. Twenty-one safflower genotypes, including six local cultivars and 15 internal pure lines were evaluated for their resistance to root rot disease in laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Safflower seedlings were evaluated for lesion length on infected roots in laboratory, as well percentage of live seedlings in greenhouse. The results indicated a high negative correlation between lesion length on roots and percentage of live seedlings. The most resistant and susceptible genotypes to P. drechsleri were identified as pure line Karaj row 12 (KW12) and cultivar Koseh with lesion lengths of 10.01 and 15.51 mm on roots and 45.60 and 18.00% live seedlings, respectively. The most resistant genotype to F. solani was identified as pure line KW11 with a lesion length of 9.31 mm on roots as well 62.80% live seedlings. The most susceptible genotypes were identified as cultivar Koseh and pure lines KW2 and KW3 with lesion lengths of 13.29, 12.72 and 12.13 mm on roots and 25.60, 28.40 and 28.40% live seedlings, respectively. The most resistant genotypes to both P. drechsleri and F. solani were identified as pure lines KW15 and KW9 with a 55.40% live seedlings. The most susceptible genotypes were cultivars Koseh, Goldasht and pure lines KW6, KW3 and KW2 with 35.40, 35.40, 35.40, 37.60 and 37.60% live seedlings in greenhouse, respectively.
