Sunflower seed quality and yield in relation to environmental conditions of production region
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Seed quality is a complex character that is determined by a large number of parameters. Because of this, knowing the interrelationships among these parameters is of utmost importance, not only from the point of view of ...
Exploring environmental determinants of the geographic distribution of broomrape (Orobanche cumana Wallr.)
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Broomrape is one of the most critical biotic constraints to sunflower crop production. In the most extended sunflower crop area of the world, distributed across Black sea region, this parasitic weed shows a high occurrence. ...
Vigor of sunflower and soybean aging seed
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Seed aging and deterioration affect seed vigor and viability. The characteristics of the chemical composition of oil crops seed are related to specific processes occurring in the seed during storage. This study was performed ...
Broomrape seed germination on nutritive media and possibility of its biological control
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
In tests of sunflower hybrids' susceptibility to broomrape under artificial inoculation conditions, a high germination rate of broomrape seed used for infestation is prerequisite. On the other hand, one of the ways to ...
Towards sustainable downy mildew resistance in sunflower
(Institut za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, Novi Sad, 2012)
Breeding for downy mildew resistance is one of the major goals in sunflower breeding programmes. In the last few decades new sources of resistance have been discovered and the position of 11 resistance genes was established ...
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 ...
