Assessment of quality of new Rf inbred lines resistant to broomrape rase E (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) developed from H. deserticola by interspecific hybridization
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2010)
Broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.) presents a serious problem in sunflower production in a number of countries. The population of broomrape has been stable in Serbia for a long period of time, but the racial composition ...
Heterosis for agronomically important traits in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2007)
Significant manifestation of heterosis for agronomically important traits is the main precondition for obtaining productive sunflower hybrids (Škorić et al., 2006). Development of high-yielding and stable sunflower hybrids ...
Development of sunflower genotypes resistant to downy mildew
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2010)
Sunflower is attacked by more than 40 different diseases of which only a certain number causes serious reduction of seed yield. One of the most damaging diseases is downy mildew, which is caused by the fungus Plasmopara ...
Seed dormancy of hybrids and parent lines of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Sunflower is a plant species with a prominent period of seed dormancy. Physiological maturation period can be accelerated under laboratory conditions using methods for breaking seed dormancy such as: previous cooling at ...
An analysis of heterotic potential for agronomically important traits in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2007)
Study of inbreeding and heterosis in sunflower has been taking place for over 80 years now. Practical application of the phenomenon of heterosis in this species began after the discovery of a suitable source of cytoplasmic ...
Influence of aging process on biochemical changes in sunflower seed
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2005)
This investigation was conducted in order to determine the degree of biochemical changes during accelerated and natural aging of sunflower seed. Five sunflower lines developed in Novi Sad, submitted to accelerated aging ...
Seed viability of oil crops depending on storage conditions
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2010)
Changes occurring in seed during aging are significant as far as seed quality and longevity are concerned and are a consequence of the effects of different storage conditions. The chemical composition of seed with high oil ...
Planting date effects on oil yield in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2007)
Oil yield per unit area is the ultimate target in growing high-oil sunflower genotypes. A research was carried out to determine planting date effects on oil yield, using three sunflower hybrids (Miro, Rimi, Pobednik), eight ...
Testing two isolates of diaporthe/phomopsis helianthi in a population of sunflower recombinant inbred lines
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2004)
Development of new, more aggressive isolates of Phomopsis helianthi in Serbia and Montenegro has been investigated. Two isolates of Phomopsis helianthi Yu 4 and Yu 12, had been found on the stem of NS-H-45, a highly tolerant ...
Effect of maturation period on seed quality; optimum time for desiccation in sunflower (helianthus annuus l) genotypes
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2006)
To harvest a sunflower crop, it is important to bring moisture content, i.e moisture level in leaves, stems, heads and seed, to a level that permits normal work of combine harvester. In 2003, an experiment was established ...
