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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Combining ability for oil content and its correlations with other yield components in sunflower (helianthus annuus l)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2006)
Oil yield is a major characteristic of each sunflower hybrid (Škorić et al 2005). To be able to develop new high-oil sunflower hybrids by the method of interspecific hybridization, it is necessary to have information on ...
The use of PCR-based markers in the evaluation of resistance to downy mildew in ns-breeding material
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2004)
The aim of this work was the application of previously developed and development of new PCR markers for the evaluation of sunflower resistance to downy mildew. Twenty sunflower inbred lines were investigated. Plant resistance ...
Use of oxalic acid for screening intact sunflower plants for resistance to Sclerotinia in vitro
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2002)
Three sunflower inbred lines differing in resistance to Sclerotinia were grown on nutritive medium supplemented with different concentrations of oxalic acid. After two weeks of culture, plant height, fresh and dry weight ...
Development of sunflower hybrids with different oil quality
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2007)
The cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of most important oil crops of the world. Although sunflower is primarily grown for extraction of its seed oil there is a limited production of non-oilseed sunflower ...
Changes of fatty acids content and vigor of sunflower seed during natural aging
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2007)
Sunflower seed aging during storage affects seed vigor and content of fatty acids. In order to reveal severity of their influence, the following vigor tests were applied: standard laboratory germination test, cold test and ...
