“…It is most favored as a food in Europe and. tubers are rich in nutrients and polysaccharides especially inulin; which possibly utilized as a fructose sweetener (Chubey and Dorrell, 1974). Moreover the aboveground parts of the plant can be used for biogas production and in animal nutrition (Gunnarson et al 1985;Malmberg and Theander, 1986;Seiler,1988).…”

Two field experiments were carried out during two successive summer seasons of 2009 and 2010 at the experimental farm, El-Kassasein Research Station, Ismailia Governorate, to investigate the effect of different rates of nitrogen and potassium fertilization (100%, 75% and 50% of the recommended dose) and foliar application with urea and citrate potassium at rates of 0.05 and 1 % and their interactions on plant growth, fresh and dry weight, yield and its components and chemical constituents of Jerusalem artichoke plants (Helianthus tuberosus L.) cv. fuseau under sandy soil conditions. Fertilization with 100% of nitrogen and potassium from the recommended dose recorded maximum values of plant height, number of shoots / plant both fresh and dry weight/plants, yield and its components, and chemical constituents of tubers in both seasons. Spraying Jerusalem artichoke plants with urea and citrate potassium at a rate of 1% significantly increased plant growth, yield and its components as well as chemical constituents of tubers. In general, the best interaction treatment among different rates of nitrogen and potassium fertilization and foliar application with urea and citrate potassium was fertilization with 100% of the recommended dose and foliar application with urea and citrate potassium at a rate of 1% as compared with other treatments.

“…Chubey and Dorrell (1974) reported that the fructose concentration in reducing sugars from two adapted accessions declined steadily from 82.4Vo on 28 September to 7l.8%o on 23 November. Similar observations were made in the Netherlands by Pilnik and Vervelde (1976) where the fructose concentration in the reducing sugars declined from 82.9 to 75.0Vo and the total sugar concentration declined from 18.7 to 16.4%o in tubers harvested from September to February. In the U.S.S.R., inulin concentration was reported to increase until late September, then decline slightly (Kakhana et al l97O (Tables 2, 3 and 4).…”

“…The potential of JA for fructose production under prairie conditions in Manitoba, Canada, was studied by Chubey and Dorrell (1974). Tubers of eight strains were harvested on seven dates, beginning in September and continuing until midNovember, when the soil was frozen to a depth of approximately 15 cm.…”

The potential of wild sunflower species for industrial uses

Within the past decade, the desire for alternative sources of fuels, chemicals, feeds, and other materials has received increased attention. Wild sunflower species have the potential to contribute to these renewable resources. During the past three decades, the narrow genetic base of cultivated sunflower has been broadened by the infusion of genes from wild relatives, which have provided a continuous source of agronomic traits for crop improvement. The genus Helianthus is composed of 51 species and 19 subspecies with 14 annual and 37 perennial species. Although oil concentrations of up to 37 g/kg have been reported in whole plants of one wild sunflower species, H. ciliaris, the achenes are the primary storage tissue for oil. The fatty acid composition of the achene oil determines its suitability for either food or industrial uses. Considerable variability has been reported in fatty acid composition of oil in achenes of the wild species. Other natural products may also be of economic value from the wild sunflower species. A natural rubber concentration of 19 g/kg has been reported in the whole plant of wild perennial H. radula with more than 92% pure rubber. Polyphenol yields of wild sunflower biomass are moderate, with H. strumosus yielding 139 g/kg. Hydrocarbon yields for wild sunflower biomass are average for most species, with H. salicifolius having the highest yield of 16 g/kg. The sugars in the stalks and tubers of Jerusalem artichoke (H. tuberosus) have been suggested as a potential source for bioethanol production. Jerusalem artichoke has been evaluated for inulin and sugar yield from stalks, yielding 10.4 and 8.0 t/ha, respectively, while tubers yield 13.7 t/ha of inulin and 13.3 t/ha of fructose. Biomass production has also been investigated in Jerusalem artichoke. Dry matter forage yields of 3.0 to 9.9 t/ha and tuber yields of 2.8 to 12.8 t/ha have been reported. Further research will be needed to assess the potential use of wild species for industrial purposes through selection and breeding.
