Sunflower
Our laboratory maintains operations of a 6 decades old sunflower breeding program, to make new traits of importance to consumers and producers available to breeding companies and other public sector breeders.
Breeding
We release inbred lines for all sunflower markets including both Oilseed (Traditional, NuSun, High-oleic) and Confection.
- Increased Yield
- Oil Content >40%
- Disease Resistance
- Insect Resistance
- Herbicide Tolerance
Released Inbred Lines
Our released inbred lines are available by “public release”. This free and open policy has resulted in our lines being the center of genomics research in sunflower. We release inbred lines for all sunflower markets including both Oilseed (Traditional, NuSun, High-oleic) and Confection.
