INTERNATIONAL SUNFLOWER ASSOCIATION

The climate changes in the last years (the decrease of rainfall,  the increase of air temperatures, the increase of variability of  climate in a year period) had a high influence on the  sunflower production.
Sunflower breeding is of a great importance for the plant adaptation to the climate change.

There is necessity to understand the genetic  and molecular mechanisms  which control the  plant physiology  and  growing, to know the good characteristics for the hybrids, in the near future. Also, it is necessary to identify the molecular and  genetic  factors which are involved in resistance to drought. The identification of genes which can optimize the combining ability for productivity, in climate change conditions, is very important. The climate changes have also influenced, in the pathogens developing, the resistance of the host plant, as well as the  pathogen-host interaction.
For increasing the sustainability of the production, in the climate change conditions, adaptation is necessary through the cultivation practices.
