“…Desirable traits of the garden plants are strong plant habit, long flowering time and the required plant height. It depends on whether they are intended for use as a hedge or combined with other flowers (Kaya et al 2012), which requires dwarf or tall plants, higher number of branches and long duration of lateral flowering. The Heliopa × Iskra hybrid exhibited high positive SCA effects on these traits suitable for use as a hedge plant.…”

“…The other direction of ornamental sunflower breeding is that intended for garden production. Plants for this purpose are characterized by strong plant habit, branching and the height ranging from 50 to 170 cm, depending on whether they are intended for use as a hedge or to be combined with other flowers (Kaya et al 2012).…”

Cvejić S., Jocić S., Mladenović E., Jocković M., Miladinović D., Imerovski I., Dimitrijević A. (2017): Evaluation of combining ability in ornamental sunflower for floral and morphological traits. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 53: 83−88.Ornamental sunflowers are widely cultivated for use as cut flowers and/or as garden plants. The objective of the study was to investigate breeding values of new F 1 ornamental sunflower hybrids using incomplete diallel crossing of four ornamental inbred lines: Heliopa, Talia, Iskra and Neoplanta. Six traits important for ornamental market use were studied. Additive gene effects prevailed in most tested traits except for lateral floral diameter and duration of lateral flowering, which exhibited non-additive effects. The results indicated that the Talia × Neoplanta hybrid combination was the most promising for cut flowers due to long and strong branches, relatively big lateral flowers while Heliopa × Iskra and Heliopa × Talia hybrids were suitable for use as garden plants due to strong plant habit, long flowering time and desirable plant height. The results obtained from this study will be helpful for further ornamental sunflower breeding.

“…Sunflower is a highly cross-pollinated crop and commercial cultivation of its hybrids is more desired because of their agronomic and economic advantages over varieties (high productivity, high oil content, uniformity, etc.) [18]. Moreover, the favorable characteristics of sunflower hybrids like production stability, response to high-input agriculture, high self-fertility, consistent growth, and maturity shifted the focus toward heterosis breeding, leading to the release of first-ever sunflower hybrid BSH-1 in India, which provided the required fillip to expand sunflower cultivation in the country [19].…”

The sunflower hybrids hold a narrow cytoplasmic diversity. Besides, the heterotic effect of wild cytoplasmic combinations of sunflower on important traits under water stress has not been explored in detail. Here, we evaluated the different sunflower cytoplasmic combinations in sunflower hybrids using cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sources as female parents. We used a total of sixteen sunflower genotypes representing twelve CMS lines from wild and conventional sources along with four restorer lines. Twelve CMS lines were crossed with four restorer lines to develop a total of 48 F1 hybrid combinations. The hybrids were evaluated under two different environments (i.e., regular irrigation and water stress) for morphophysiological, yield, and biochemical traits over two years. Heterotic effect for various CMS sources was evaluated on all of the three possible scales, namely, better-parent heterosis (BPH), mid-parent heterosis (MPH), and heterosis as percent of check (PSH-996). For better-parent and mid-parent heterosis, the CMS sources Helianthus annuus, Helianthus argophyllus, and Helianthus debilis demonstrated positive better-parent heterosis for seed yield, oil content, and oleic acid irrespective of the environment. However, the hybrid combinations of different sources when using the genotype RCR8297 as the restorer parent recorded maximum average returns. Furthermore, chlorophyll meter (SPAD) reading positively correlated with days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, and number of leaves per plant in both the environments. Overall, this study identified and compared the heterotic effect of the different cytoplasmic combinations in sunflower under water stress as well as under normal irrigation environments.

“…As a native crop in North America, sunflower was domesticated firstly by the North American Indians for food, body painting and medicine such as treating warts and snake bites, expelling worms, improving eyesight, etc. Sunflower moved to Europe as an ornamental plant by Spanish explorers in 1500s . Later, it was developed as an oilseed crop during the early and mid‐19th century in the former Soviet Union.…”

Increasing the sunflower seed oil content as well as improving its quality makes it compatible for industrial demands. This is an important breeding objective of sunflower which increases its market value and ensures high returns for the producers. The present review focuses on determining the progress of improving sunflower seed oil content and modifying its quality by empirical and advanced molecular breeding methods. It is known that the sunflower oil content and quality have been altered through empirical selection methods and mutation breeding programmes in various parts of the world. Further improvement in seed oil content and its components (such as phytosterols, tocopherols and modified fatty acid profile) has been slowed down due to low genetic variation in elite germplasm and complex of hereditary traits. Introgression from wild species can be carried out to modify the fatty acids profile and tocopherol contents with linkage drags. Different transgenes introduced through biotechnological methods may produce novel long-chain fatty acids within sunflower oil. Bio-engineering of sunflower oil could allow it to be used in diverse industrial products such as bio-diesel or bio-plastics. These results showed that past and current trends of modifying sunflower oil quality are essential for its further expansion as an oilseed crop. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
