Abstract

Genetic variability of two random-mating sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) populations, Local Open and UAF, was evaluated in two seasons (spring and fall). One hundred S1 families selected randomly each population were included in the experiment conducted at Faisalabad (Pakistan). Genotype × environment variances for all traits, especially seed yield, oil yield and the number of achenes per head, were larger in Local Open than in UAF.

Keywords: sunflower, random mating, variance components, heritabilities
