Micropropagation of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

  • Chapter
High-Tech and Micropropagation III

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 19))

Abstract

The common sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a member of the Compositae (Asteraceae) family. Its name (from the Greek helios, sun, and anthos, flower) is derived from the heliotropic movement of the sunflower’s head (nutation). Grown for its seed, this species is one of the most important suppliers of vegetable oil, and is now fairly widely cultivated throughout the world.
