Drought stress during the reproductive phase of sunflower can significantly reduce achene yield by affecting inflorescence size, nectar quality, and pollinator activity. This study aimed to analyze morphological characteristics region, quantify sugar components, evaluate presence pollination success in wild Helianthus species as an important genetic resource for breeding cultivated sunflowers under drought conditions. Morphological investigations were conducted flowering development phases...
Sunflower has been proposed as a potential crop model for an adaptation to changing environment and special attention should be paid testing hybrids under different environments. Additive main effects multiplicative interaction (AMMI) supplemented with genotype by (GGE) were used dissection of evaluation The research included 24 sunflower grown across twelve AMMI analysis identified four significant principal components (IPC), while in GGE biplot the first two IPCs accounted together 44.59%....
Although flower pollinator interactions are known to be mediated by floral traits, not enough attention has been paid the research of secretory tissues and volatile components sunflower disc florets as potentially important parameters in breeding programs.

In study, we have made a very detailed comparative analysis characterization (VOCs) 10 wild perennial Helianthus species....
Hybrid breeding in sunflowers based on CMS PET1 requires development of restorer lines carrying, most cases, the gene Rf1. Markers for marker-assisted selection have been developed, but there is still need closer, more versatile, and co-dominant markers linked to Homology searches against reference sunflower genome using sequences cloned markers, as well Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC)-end clones hybridizing them, allowed identification two genomic regions 30 3.9 Mb, respectively,...
Due to the increased demand for sunflower production, its breeding assignment is intensification of development highly productive oil seed hybrids satisfy edible industry. Sunflower Oil Yield Prediction (SOYP) can help breeders identify desirable new with high yield and their characteristics using machine learning (ML) algorithms. In this study, we developed ML models predict two sets features. Moreover, evaluated most relevant features accurate SOYP. algorithms that were used compared...
Winter oilseed rape (WOSR) production is dependent on weather conditions, but also characterized by low nitrogen (N) use efficiency. The objectives of this study were to: (i) evaluate sources variability for the seed yield and oil content four rapeseed cultivars under influence three sowing dates (SD trial) five dosages (N during growing seasons; (ii) understand year-related interactions effect climatic variables in different growth stages; (iii) assess presence cultivar year (C × Y)...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were significantly associated with fertility restoration of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) PET1 by the restorer gene Rf1. For these SNPs, four Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) markers successfully designed. The KASP cover locus Rf1, spanning about 3 Mb, and clearly differentiate maintainer lines. genetic purity testing in sunflower hybrid production, efficiency for detecting contaminations samples was simulated using mixtures hypocotyls or...

Stability of 25 new sunflower hybrid combinations was compared against three standard hybrids in locations. Seed yield per unit area and oil content seed were measured using AMMI analysis. The tested showed significant variations (t ha-1) (%) from one location to another within individual Variations mostly due the impact location, while prevalently genotypic differences among hybrids. highest lowest average total yields obtained by G20 G1, respectively.
Bearing in mind that the sunflower production Serbia is extensive, it very important to select a hybrid will achieve stable and high seed oil yields different enviromental conditions. The objective of study was identify most hybrids for yield using AMMI model analysis. Nine newly developed early, medium early late were tested. Hybrids grown locations across Northern during two growing seasons (2013-2014). Selected are geographically close, but environmentally terms soil, rainfalls...
Objective of this study was to determine the divergence and association between seed yield three morphological characteristics that are very important in sunflower breeding (plant height, head diameter days flowering) order identify most valuable trait for improvement. Forty new hybrid combinations were evaluated. Cluster analysis used genetic diversity by classifying genotypes based on average values studied characteristics. Genotypes classified into homogenous groups six individuals....
The research describes the field comparison of 81 decorative sunflower genotypes. In order to assess genetic diversity genotypes studies were conducted in conditions during 2010-2015 at Institute Field and Crops, Novi Sad, Serbia. species Helianthus annuus L. has enabled breeding work direction decorating plant landscaping. Depending on qualitative quantitative characteristics, production sunflowers can be divided into three directions. first line is for cut flowers, second one garden third...
The aim of this research was to determine the optimum planting density for production high-quality cut flowers with desirable characteristics. 25 single-stem ornamental sunflower genotypes were planted at different densities and evaluated flowering time, flower diameter, stem circumference length over a two-year cycle. Three spacing patterns used: × cm, 30 70 which led 160 000, 90 60 000 plants/ha, respectively. plant had most important effect on circumference, (total variation 52, 60, 58%,...
Three hybrid combinations obtained by crossing six winter rapeseed cultivars were analyzed for the impact of genes with additive and dominant effects their interactions inheritance plant height first lateral branch height. The linkage among expected progeny means was checked using scaling test method (Mather, 1949), while estimates genetic mode made Generation Mean Analysis (Mather Jinks, 1982). model did not prove adequate in all three crosses, second third cross. inadequacy showed...
