New sunflower hybrids show significant increase in oil content production.
The researchers studied different sunflower families to see how they perform in terms of yield and its components. They used a specific breeding method to create new sunflower varieties. The results showed that there were significant differences among the sunflower families for all traits studied. Some families showed good potential for producing oil. The researchers also found that oil content was not strongly related to certain traits like flowering time or head size. Overall, the study suggests that certain sunflower families have the potential to be good parents for future breeding programs to improve sunflower yield and quality.
