Abstract
Thirty-five sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids and seven parental lines were analyzed for hull and oil content. The hull content varied from 21.6 to 28.2% in the hybrids. The oil content varied from 59.8 to 64.6% in the kernel and from 42.5 to 50.3% in the whole seed. The variation of these characters was even greater in the parental lines. Hull content was negatively correlated with both kernel and whole seed oil content and with seed weight. Oil content of the kernel was positively correlated with oil content of the whole seed. Some variation in ease of dehulling was observed using a barley pearler.
