Discovery of rust-resistant sunflower seedlings in 1952 made it possible to distinguish races of Puccinia helianthi Schw. occurring on cultivated sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.). The races isolated in 1954 helped to identify two discrete factors for resistance derived from wild annual sunflowers from the Renner, Texas, area. The four races which theoretically could be distinguished with two resistance factors have all been found in Manitoba. Collections from other provinces, countries, and continents, with few exceptions were classified on the Canadian differentials as race 1. Differences among isolates of race 1 were observed on resistant derivatives of H. argophyllus T. and G. Use of the four rust races described made it possible to identify different factors for resistance in sister selections of sunflowers with identical rust reactions in the field, and to demonstrate that the original rust resistant accessions 953-88 and 953-102 each contained at least two distinct resistance factors. Use of the races has also made it possible to recognize the existence in H. argophyllus of factors for rust resistance which appear to differ from those in the Canadian differential varieties.

SUMMARY Seed germination of six sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids was investigated across a range of eleven constant temperatures between 5°C and 45°C. Large temperature differences in germination rate 1/t (d-1), cardinal temperature (°C) and thermal time θ (°cd) were observed among hybrids. Base temperatures (Tb) varied between 3.3°C and 6.7°C whereas maximum germination temperatures (Tm) varied between 41.7°C and 48.9°C. Final germination fraction was attained at 15°C - 25°C whereas the maximum rate of germination was attained at 30.4°C - 35.6°C. The maximum germination rate of hybrid USDA 894, the cultivar with the slowest germination rate, was only 50% of that of hybrid EX 47. The low Tb and high Tm of sunflower appear to be one of the factors which explain the successful adaptation of sunflower to a wide range of temperature. These findings are discussed in relation to the origin of the crop and its wide adaptations in diverse habitats and climatic zones.

SUMMARYA field experiment was conducted at Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore to study the effect of irrigation regimens on the biomass accumulation, canopy development, light interception and radiation use efficiency of sunflower. The treatments includes irrigating the plants at 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 cumulative pan evaporation. The results indicated that the aboveground biomass, canopy development, radiation interception and radiation use efficiency were influenced favorably by the irrigation regimens. Irrespective of the irrigation regimen, the radiation use efficiency of sunflower increased from 15 DAS to 75 DAS and then tended to decline. The decrease in RUE after anthesis is coupled with decrease in leaf nitrogen content. In general the RUE of sunflower ranged from 0.49 g MJ-1 to 1.84 g MJ-1 at different growth stages. The light transmission within the canopy increased exponentially with plant height and the canopy extension coefficient is found to be 0.8.
