Abstract

Fifty populations.of wild annual and perennial sunflower were collected from the northwestern region of the United States. Six different species were represented with 28 populations of annual H. annuus, three H. petiolaris ssp. petiolaris, four H. cusicki, two H. maximiliani, twelve H. nuttallii ssp. nuttallii, and one H. pumilus. The most significant contribution was the collection of H. cusickii and H. pumilus accessions, which have potential for drought tolerance. Future explorations are needed to preserve the natural diversity of wild sunflowers.

Keywords: Sunflover, germplasm, wild species
