Selection by the honeycomb is used to obtain high-yielding genotypes from the sunflower, The selection is carried out using several genotypes, as they are grown for more than one season, with a distance of 1.3 m between furrows and 1.5 m between the plants. The selection depends on the area of the sunflower disk. The selected seeds are randomly planted and pollinated in the third season. The seeds resulting from random pollination are sown in a comparative experiment with the original populations and evaluate them at different densities. Selection criteria are based high yield. In addition to studying the molecular indicators of the selected and original genotypes to know the genetic and molecular distance between them in order to choose the appropriate breeding method. Honeycomb selection is expected to improve plants performance for a number of genetic, phenotypic and physiological traits due to the additive gene. Therefore, we suggest adopting the honeycomb selection program to select active strains, whether by using improved varieties or strains to obtain new hybrids that are better than what is produced today through known breeding methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
