The influence of two morphactins (IT 3233 and IT 3456) on the formation of tissues in sunflower leaves was investigated. The leaves were usually smaller, they had plicate laminae and rolled up edges. The different influence of morphactins in dependence on the position of the leaves on the stem and on the kind of tissues was confirmed. Leaves growing from the first node had the thickest laminae, main ribs and the longest cells of palisade parenchyma. The values contrasted with those in the leaves from the third node. An increase of the number of epidermis cells and stomata in leaves from the first and second node and a decrease in those from the third node were observed. Additional layers (1-2) of palisade parenchyma in leaves of the second and third node were formed. Mesophyll was very compact. Xylem consisted of a greater number of elements, arranged compactly and of much lower diameter.

The influence of two morphactins (IT 3233 and IT 3456) on tissue formation in sunflower stem was studied. The seeds were wetted with water solutions of morphactins in concentrations of 10 ppm and 50 ppm. The stems of the treated plants were thinner and they had less nodes. The diminution of stem thickness took place as a result of the decrease of central cylinder parenchyma cells in size. There also appeared histological changes in the composition of vascular bundles. The diminution of the number of bundles was ascertained together with an increase of their size. Arched intrabundle cambium and xylem exhibited an inclination to partial surrounding of phloem. A considerable increase of the number oftracheal elements was observed. Their diameter was much smaller. Spiral vessels and tracheids arose after treatment with IT 3456 10 ppm. Different types of vessels appeared in the remaining combinations. The disruption and obliteration of many vessels of protoxylem and also disruption of the parenchyma adhesing to them took place.

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.
