A hybrid sunflower, designated NHW11915, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid sunflower NHW11915, to the plants of hybrid sunflower NHW11915 and to methods for producing a sunflower plant by crossing the cultivar NHW11915 with itself or another sunflower. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic sunflower plants and plant parts produced by those methods and to methods for producing other hybrid sunflower derived from hybrid sunflower NHW11915.

The present invention relates to an inbred sunflower, designated SA425A. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred sunflower SA425A, to the plants of inbred sunflower SA425A and to methods for producing a sunflower plant by crossing cultivar SA425A with itself or another sunflower. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic sunflower plants and plant parts produced by those methods and to methods for producing other hybrid sunflower derived from inbred sunflower SA425A.

Provided are sunflowers, parts thereof, cultures of, and seeds that are capable of producing sunflower oil that is low in saturated fat and, optionally, high in linoleic acid as well as associated methods.

Provided are sunflowers, parts thereof, cultures of, and seeds that are capable of producing sunflower oil that is low in saturated fat as well as associated methods.

The present invention relates to an inbred sunflower line, designated CN3165A/B. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred sunflower line CN3165A/B, to the plants of inbred sunflower line CN3165A/B and to the methods for producing a sunflower plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line CN3165A/B with itself or another sunflower line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred sunflower lines derived from the inbred CN3165A/B.

Provided are sunflowers, parts thereof, cultures of, and seeds that are capable of producing sunflower oil that is low in saturated fat and, optionally, high in linoleic acid as well as associated methods.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of haploid, polyhaploid and/or doubled haploid embryos, calli, seeds and/or plants of the species Helianthus annuus from isolated microspore cultures, more specifically to a method comprising contacting the isolated microspores with a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and a complex protein composition. The present invention also provides a kit for producing a haploid, polyhaploid and/or doubled haploid embryo, callus, seed and/or plant of the species Helianthus annuus from at least one isolated microspore as well as the use of a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and a complex protein composition for producing a haploid, polyhaploid and/or doubled haploid embryo, callus, seed and/or plant of the species Helianthus annuus. Finally, the present invention also relates to a population of haploid, polyhaploid and/or doubled haploid Helianthus annuus plants directly derived from at least one sunflower apical or lateral capitula.

A Helianthus plant designated HEIZ0003 is disclosed. Embodiments include seeds of Helianthus HEIZ0003, plants of Helianthus HEIZ0003, to plant parts of Helianthus HEIZ0003, and methods for producing a Helianthus plant produced by crossing Helianthus HEIZ0003 with itself or with another Helianthus variety. Embodiments include methods for producing a Helianthus plant containing in its genetic material one or more genes or transgenes and transgenic Helianthus plants and plant parts produced by those methods. Embodiments also relate to Helianthus varieties, breeding varieties, plant parts, and cells derived from Helianthus HEIZ0003, methods for producing other Helianthus lines or plant parts derived from Helianthus HEIZ0003, and the Helianthus plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. Embodiments further include hybrid Helianthus seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by crossing Helianthus HEIZ0003 with another Helianthus variety.
