Assessment of the biogeographical variation of seed size and seed oil traits in wild Silphium integrifolium Michx. genotypes

peer-reviewed journal publication, Silphium /

Stephan Reinert, David Van Tassel, Brandon Schaultman, Nolan Kane, Brent Hulke Abstract: Silphium spp. have garnered interest in Europe as a bioenergy crop and in North America as a perennial oilseed crop. However, very little has been done at this early stage of domestication to characterize wild collections for many key characteristics, including important oilseed

Two contrasting laboratory methods improve Silphium integrifolium Michx. germination rate to agronomically acceptable levels

peer-reviewed journal publication, Silphium /

Stephan Reinert, Kennedy L. Money, Greta B. G. Rockstad, Nolan C. Kane, David L. Van Tassel, Brent S. Hulke Abstract: Organic dormancy, the inability to germinate under favorable conditions, is a common problem in many crop species and their wild relatives, leading to more variable emergence, plant density, and growth rates, thus increasing costs, and

Plant-herbivore and plant-pollinator interactions of the developing perennial oilseed crop, Silphium integrifolium

peer-reviewed journal publication, Silphium /

Jarrad Prasifka, Rachel Mallinger, Brent Hulke, Steven Larson, David Van Tassel Abstract:  Sampling in Kansas and North Dakota documented the plant-herbivore and plant-pollinator interactions of the developing perennial oilseed crop, Silphium integrifolium Michx. The larva of the tortricid moth, Eucosma giganteana (Riley), was the most common floret- and seed-feeding pest in Kansas, with infested heads
