Abstract Changes in flowering time and its regulation by environmental signals have played
crucial roles in the evolutionary origin and spread of many cultivated plants. Recent …

Sunflower is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and drought stress can
severely limit its production and quality. To understand the underlying mechanism of drought …

High-density genetic linkage maps are particularly important for quantitative trait loci (QTL)
mapping, genome assembly, and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plants. In this study, a …

The present study was undertaken to investigate the genetic basis and map quantitative trait
loci (QTLs), controlling agronomic traits in sunflower under well-watered and water-stressed …

Sunflower is an important oilseed crop across the world. It is considered as a moderately
drought tolerant plant, however, its yield is still negatively affected by drought stress …

Basal stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is one of the major
diseases of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in the world. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

As a summer crop, sunflower is influenced a lot by environmental conditions, so sunflower
yield changes frequently year by year. On the other hand, in the recent years' temperatures …

Sunflower is an important source of edible oil. Drought is known as an important factor
limiting the growth and productivity of field crops in most parts of the world. Agricultural …

In this paper we present the results of the study of new sunflower forms obtained through
hybridization between cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and two wild Helianthus …
