AB  - Although flower pollinator interactions are known to be mediated by floral traits, not enough attention has been paid to the research of secretory tissues and volatile components of sunflower disc florets as potentially important parameters in breeding programs. (1) To our knowledge, this is the first integrated study aimed at better understanding the attractiveness of sunflower capitula to insects. In the study, we have made a very detailed comparative analysis of secretory tissues and the characterization of the volatile components (VOCs) of disc florets in 10 wild perennial Helianthus species. (2) For anatomical analyses, cross-sections were obtained from the nectary zone of disc florets using a cryotechnique procedure. Micromorphological observation and morphological and anatomical analysis of disc florets were performed using light and scanning electron microscopy. For VOCs, we applied headspace, GC-FID, and GC/MS analyses. (3) The obtained results indicate that there is a difference between the analyzed traits among studied species. H. eggertii, H. hirsutus, H. mollis, H. resinosus, and H. tuberosus had high disc diameter values, a high cross-section area and disc floret corolla length, as well as the largest cross-section area and thickness of the disc florets nectary. In the analyzed VOCs, 30 different compounds were detected. The highest yield and quantity of α-Pinene was observed in H. mollis. (4) Inflorescence features, such as receptacle diameter, corolla and secretory tissue properties, and floret VOCs production and characterization, provided valuable information that can be used as guidelines in sunflower breeding programs to maximize pollinator attractiveness and increase seed yield.

AB  - Drought is the leading cause of agricultural production loss, with 75% of the world's harvested land sustaining yield losses due to this major abiotic stress. According to global climate models, drought conditions are expected to worsen as droughts will grow more severe and prolonged as a result of climate change. Production of sunflower, the fourth most important oil crop, is affected by drought, hence breeding for drought tolerance presents a major task for breeders. So far, the majority studies were oriented toward understanding changes drought causes on morphological, physiological and more recently, on genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic level. Epigenetic mechanisms of drought tolerance in sunflower are still to these days unrevealed. At the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops several drought tests are being developed for detecting drought tolerant sunflower genotypes from our vast collection. In vitro tests with PEG6000 and rhizothron testing allows detecting genotypes tolerant at early stages of sunflower development, while pot tests in walk-in-chambers enables detection of tolerant sunflower in the flowering stage. We will analyze differentially expressed non-coding sRNAs and lncRNAs and their target genes between the most drought tolerant and least drought tolerant genotype for the identification of epiQTLs that can be used in sunflower breeding programs. Additionally, mild drought stress mimicking field conditions is applied to plants grown in pots at early stage of development, to investigate chromatin dynamics during stress application and after recovery from the stress.

AB  - Sunflower is the most important oil crop in Serbia and the fourth most important oil crop worldwide. There is a five decade-long tradition of sunflower breeding at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops. Besides the main breeding objectives such as breeding for high seed and oil yield, enhancing biotic stress tolerance has been one of the priorities throughout the past. Nowadays with the climate change jeopardizing sunflower production, increasing abiotic stress tolerance is becoming an important breeding goal. Drought as a major abiotic stress induces plant response on different levels: morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular. On molecular level it causes alteration in gene expression, accumulation of different metabolites and synthesis of specific proteins. As drought tolerance is such a complex quantitative trait, it requires exploiting a holistic approach for the detection of mechanisms sunflower develops to withstand it.

AB  - Drought as a major abiotic stress induces numerous, complex responses in plant cells. Those include gene expression alteration, accumulation of different metabolites, and synthesis of specific proteins. Changes on a molecular level are under the control of complex regulatory pathways that include epigenetic mechanisms responsible for suitable and fast reactions to newly occurring stress conditions. Epigenetic modifications cause gene expression alteration through histone posttranscriptional modifications, DNA methylation, and small RNAs and lncRNAs expression. Some of these epigenetic modifications might pass on to the next generation and thus providing a good basis for a quicker response to drought stress. Revealing the epigenetic mechanisms involved in stress response could be of use in breeding programs for a prompt adaptation of plants to stress conditions. Hence, we have tested 30 sunflower inbred lines created at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops (IFVCNS) in in vitro conditions using PEG 6000 for creating a smaller panel of genotypes for analyzing their transcriptome alterations induced by drought.

AB  - Epigenetic modifications play a vital role in the preservation of genome integrity
and in the regulation of gene expression. DNA methylation, one of the key
mechanisms of epigenetic control, impacts growth, development, stress
response and adaptability of all organisms, including plants. The detection of
DNA methylation marks is crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying these processes and for developing strategies to improve productivity and stress
resistance of crop plants. There are different methods for detecting plant DNA
methylation, such as bisulfite sequencing, methylation-sensitive amplified
polymorphism, genome-wide DNA methylation analysis, methylated DNA
immunoprecipitation sequencing, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing,
MS and immuno-based techniques. These profiling approaches vary in many
aspects, including DNA input, resolution, genomic region coverage, and
bioinformatics analysis. Selecting an appropriate methylation screening
approach requires an understanding of all these techniques. This review
provides an overview of DNA methylation profiling methods in crop plants,
along with comparisons of the efficacy of these techniques between model
and crop plants. The strengths and limitations of each methodological approach
are outlined, and the importance of considering both technical and biological
factors are highlighted. Additionally, methods for modulating DNA methylation in
model and crop species are presented. Overall, this review will assist scientists in
making informed decisions when selecting an appropriate DNA methylation
profiling method.

AB  - Sunflower is the fourth most important oil plant worldwide and the second most important oil crop in Europe, along with rapeseed. Due to its high content of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as vitamin E, sunflower oil is the preferred type of oil in human nutrition in Europe. That is why, as opposed to other different vegetable oils, circa 90% of the total sunflower oil produced is used for food, while 10% is exploited for biodiesel production and other industrial purposes. In human nutrition, sunflower oil is used for cooking, frying, and preparing salads, while in industry, it is used in the frying process and for margarine production. Maintaining secure and sustainable sunflower production is, therefore, of utmost importance. Sunflower breeding led to a significant increase in oil content and change in oil composition, thus increasing both oil quantity and quality. Nowadays, different biotechnological techniques are used to accelerate the creation of superior sunflower genotypes that will be productive in climate changing environments and still be of high quality. The conventional and molecular methods used in sunflower breeding for improved nutrition quality will be addressed in this chapter.

AB  - Due to the increased demand for sunfower production, its breeding assignment is the ntensifcation
of the development of highly productive oil seed hybrids to satisfy the edible oil industry. Sunfower
Oil Yield Prediction (SOYP) can help breeders to identify desirable new hybrids with high oil yield and their characteristics using machine learning (ML) algorithms. In this study, we developed ML models to predict oil yield using two sets of features. Moreover, we evaluated the most relevant features for accurate SOYP. ML algorithms that were used and compared were Artifcial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Regression, K-Nearest Neighbour, and Random Forest Regressor (RFR). The dataset consisted of samples for 1250 hybrids of which 70% were randomly selected and were used to train the model and 30% were used to test the model and assess its performance. Employing MAE, MSE, RMSE and R2 evaluation metrics, RFR consistently outperformed in all datasets, achieving a peak of 0.92 for R2 in 2019. In contrast, ANN recorded the lowest MAE, reaching 65 in 2018 The paper revealed that in addition to seed yield, the following characteristics of hybrids were important for SOYP: resistance to broomrape (Or) and downy mildew (Pl) and maturity. It was also disclosed that the locality feature could be used for the estimation of sunfower oil yield but it is highly dependable on weather conditions that afect the oil content and seed yield. Up to our knowledge, this is the frst study in which ML was used for sunfower oil yield prediction. The obtained results indicate that ML has great potential for application in oil yield prediction, but also selection of parental lines for hybrid production, RFR algorithm was found to be the most efective and along with locality feature is going to be further evaluated as an alternative method for genotypic selection.

AB  - Agriculture is one of the “victims” of climate change and one of the most severely affected sectors. It has become evident that as the climate changes, crop production strategies must change as well, including primarily adaptations through breeding and crop management. In the future, it is expected that integrative approaches that combine -omics technologies by using bioinformatic tools will facilitate the identification of target genes and markers for complex traits and facilitate crop adaptation to the changing environment. Within its activities, Twinning project CROPINNO will implement at and validate different phenotyping and multi-omics tools in breeding for improved stress resilience. Sunflower is chosen as a model crop for validation of different tools and approaches since it is considered as potential model crop for adaptation to a changing environment. Activities within CROPINNO are aimed at: i) pre-screening sunflower genotypes from IFVCNS collection using for biotic and abiotic stress resilience using different phenotyping methods; ii) study of effects of drought on sunflower plants at chromatin and transcriptional level; iii) performing whole genome SNP analysis in order to develop SNP-based markers for drought stress resilience; iv) performing integrated data analysis and comparative bioinformatics for drought responses in order to unveil possible direct correlations between stress-induced genes transcriptional variation and histone modification levels and design of networks of candidate genes for sunflower drought tolerance. Models, tools and know-how developed on sunflower will be transferred and implemented in the breeding programs of other main field crops at IFVCNS and Western Balkans region.

AB  - Recent progress in epigenetic studies paved the way for exploitation of epigenetic variation in crop breeding. Understanding epigenetic mechanisms and variation within a certain crop could potentially help plant breeders to generate new, more resilient varieties through the exploitation of the epigenetic variation existing in crop plants. In addition, environmental buffering effects of epigenetic mechanisms could be used to achieve yield stability in a fast-changing environment leading to more resilient agricultural production. For this purpose, within the framework of ongoing projects SmatSun and CROPINNO, we are developing two approaches for exploitation of epigenetic variation in IFVCNS breeding programs: (i) Epi-breeding, with identification of molecular markers and epigenetics marks for breeding of resilient genotypes by combining and integrating phenotyping and anatomical data with molecular and epigenetics data, along with introduction of epigenetic tools, such as epiQTLs and (ii) (Epi)genome editing and alteration of identified epigenetic marks at a specific locus using CRISPRbased genome editing protocols. These two approaches are expected to lead to the development of new, more resilient crop varieties that would ensure stable and sustainable agricultural production ready to meet future market and environmental challenges.

For this purpose, within the framework of ongoing projects SmatSun and CROPINNO, we are developing two approaches for exploitation of epigenetic variation in IFVCNS breeding programs: (i) Epi-breeding, with identification of molecular markers and epigenetics marks for breeding of resilient genotypes by combining and integrating phenotyping and anatomical data with molecular and epigenetics data, along with introduction of epigenetic tools, such as epiQTLs and (ii) (Epi)genome editing and alteration of identified epigenetic marks at a specific locus using CRISPRbased genome editing protocols. These two approaches are expected to lead to the development of new, more resilient crop varieties that would ensure stable and sustainable agricultural production ready to meet future market and environmental challenges.",

AB  - Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oil crop, but its sustainable production is significantly hampered by various environmental stresses, such as drought. Understanding the variability in root morphological traits among diverse sunflower genotypes is crucial for selecting those with suitable root traits for breeding hybrids better adapted to drought. This preliminary study is part of SmartSun project supported by Fund of Science, Republic of Serbia, and tends to investigate the potential of existing sunflower hybrids to tolerate drought conditions using high-throughput root phenotyping. Two hybrids were selected based on field observation (drought-sensitive: NS Danubius; drought-tolerant: NS Ronin). Root morphological traits in an early growth stage were assessed using a rhizotron phenotyping platform under well-watered control (70% volumetric water content) and drought stress (41-50% volumetric water content), followed by root digital image analysis using WinRhizo scanner. Several root morphological traits were shown to be reliable in differentiating drought sensitivity: fresh and dry root mass, total length of the root system, volume, surface area and diameter. Reduced growth rate and significant decrease in measured parameters was detected for both genotypes under reduced water availability conditions. The obtained results are the first step in exploitation of new phenomics tools for identification of drought tolerance of sunflower genotypes.

AB  - Crop adaptation to climate change is in a part attributed to epigenetic mechanisms which are related to response to abiotic and biotic stresses. Although recent studies increased our knowledge on the nature of these mechanisms, epigenetics remains under-investigated and still poorly understood in many, especially non-model, plants, Epigenetic modifications are traditionally divided into two main groups, DNA methylation and histone modifications that lead to chromatin remodeling and the regulation of genome functioning. In this review, we outline the most recent and interesting findings on crop epigenetic responses to the environmental cues that are most relevant to climate change. In addition, we discuss a speculative point of view, in which we try to decipher the “epigenetic alphabet” that underlies crop adaptation mechanisms to climate change. The understanding of these mechanisms will pave the way to new strategies to design and implement the next generation of cultivars with a broad range of tolerance/resistance to stresses as well as balanced agronomic traits, with a limited loss of (epi)genetic variability.

AB  - Although epigenetic modifications have been intensely investigated over the last decade due to their role in crop adaptation to rapid climate change, it is unclear which epigenetic changes are heritable and therefore transmitted to their progeny. The identification of epigenetic marks that are transmitted to the next generations is of primary importance for their use in breeding and for the development of new cultivars with a broad-spectrum of tolerance/resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. In this review, we discuss general aspects of plant responses to environmental stresses and provide an overview of recent findings on the role of transgenerational epigenetic modifications in crops. In addition, we take the opportunity to describe the aims of EPI-CATCH, an international COST action consortium composed by researchers from 28 countries. The aim of this COST action launched in 2020 is: (1) to define standardized pipelines and methods used in the study of epigenetic mechanisms in plants, (2) update, share, and exchange findings in epigenetic responses to environmental stresses in plants, (3) develop new concepts and frontiers in plant epigenetics and epigenomics, (4) enhance dissemination, communication, and transfer of knowledge in plant epigenetics and epigenomics.

AB  - Oil crops breeding at Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops (IFVCNS) has a successful 50-year long tradition that resulted in collection of 7000 sunflower inbred lines, as well as collection of wild sunflowers and substantial collections of genetic resources of rapeseed, pumpkins and 24 minor oil crops. Creation of new oil crop varieties using classical breeding methods is a long-term process, sometimes not efficient enough to meet demands of changing environment and market demands of 21st century.
