Abstract
Field performance of two sources and several generations of Krasnodarets sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) was compared for 2 yr. The two sources of seed produced achenes that were significantly different in achene characteristics and oil content. There were no consistent significant differences in plant and seed characteristics with advancing generations, but there was a slight trend toward later maturity and taller plants.
