Successful application of somatic hybridization in sunflower breeding is limited by low regeneration percentage from fusion products. The effect of pre-treatment media composition on shoot regeneration from electrofusion products of wild and cultivated sunflower was investigated in this paper, with the aim to determine if there is room for improvement of the existing regeneration protocols in order to make them less genotype-dependent. Protoplasts isolated from hypocotyls of two inbred lines of cultivated sunflower were electrofused with mesophyll protoplasts of H. mollis and H. maximiliani . The regeneration was induced only on calluses that were grown on the media with low auxin and high cytokinin contents during the development of calluses from microcalluses (pre-treatment), with silver nitrate as a medium component. Regeneration from fusion products was induced by treatment with a high concentration of TDZ or 2,4 D for a short period of time.

is a destructive pathogen responsible for sunflower sclerotinia rot, resulting in substantial yield and economic losses worldwide. species have demonstrated the capacity to inhibit plant pathogen growth through the production of secondary metabolites. However, there are fewer recent studies focusing on the application of metabolites in inhibiting growth and development and controlling sunflower sclerotinia rot disease.

Following European exploration of the Americas in the late 15th century, new plants rapidly spread across Europe. Simultaneously, plants from Asia and Africa arrived. Initially, they were grown in ornamental gardens but later became integral to major production centres, significantly transforming European agriculture.

Cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a globally important oilseed crop that is grown primarily in the Northern Great Plains region of the United States. In September 2018, sunflower stems exhibiting brown stem lesions centered on the leaf axils and accompanied by pith degradation, consistent with symptoms of Phomopsis stem canker (PSC) disease, were sampled from a commercial field of approximately 520 hectares in Polk County, MN (47°50'24" N, 96.

Introduction: S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a key molecule in plant biology, plays an essential role in stress response and growth regulation. Despite its importance, the SAM synthetase gene family in sunflowers remains poorly understood.
Methods: In this study, the genes were identified from the sunflower genome.

The sunflower crop is one of the most pro sources of vegetable oil globally. It is cultivated all around the world including Haryana, in India. However, its mapping is limited due to the requirement of huge computation power, large data storage capacity, small farm holdings, and information gap on appropriate algorithms and spectral band combinations.
