Abstract:
... Accurate estimates and predictions of sunflower crop yields at the pixel and field level are critically important for farmers, service dealers, and policymakers. Several models based on remote sensing data have been developed in yield assessment, but their robustness—especially in small field scale areas—needs to be examined. Here we aim to develop a robust methodology for estimation/prediction of ...

Abstract:
... As plant breeding is a very complex and sophisticated process, it is of paramount importance to understand the nature and magnitude of interdependence between specific plant features. Using PCA and correlation analysis, this study examined the variability in features of two types of inbred sunflower lines and determined its connection with their seed yields. The experiment was conducted as a rando ...

Abstract:
... With the increase of the world’s population, while urbanization is increasing, agricultural lands are decreasing. Therefore, monitoring of up-to-date agricultural lands is important for agricultural product estimation. The study investigates suitability of Sentinel-2 data for the phenological stage analysis and yield estimation of sunflower plant. To this aim, fieldworks was conducted and sunflowe ...

Abstract:
... Remarkable progress in the identification of foliar diseases based on plant images has been achieved through the introduction of convolutional neural networks (CNN), but most studies are based on images taken in laboratory conditions, on a single-color background and in controlled light conditions. In real life, farmers take pictures with many natural disturbances, such as shadows, various backgro ...

Abstract:
... In order to study the force‐structure and oil out property of sunflower seed kernel under compressive loading during processing, the force‐structure properties of sunflower seeds under different compression distance, compression speed, holding time and temperature were investigated by texture analyzer combined with in‐situ optical microscopic observation for compression test on sunflower seeds. Th ...

Abstract:
... The low phase transition and thermal decomposition temperatures of conventional thermoplastics limit the use of shape memory polymers (SMPs) in high-temperature frontier applications. Here, we demonstrate a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with a high phase transition temperature, high decomposition temperature, and a broad reversible phase transition, where the broad reversible phase transition confer ...

Abstract:
... Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) is one of the major oilseeds of India and cultivated extensively in both Alfisols and Vertisols of Karnataka. Low productivity of crop in high spread areas of Karnataka is due to various biophysical constraints. In the present study, the performance of sunflower was evaluated under best management practices (BMP) over farmer’s practice in three soil series, viz. Man ...

The collection of occurrence data on Alternaria toxins in food and feed across the European countries is required since 2012 by the European Commission, endorsing the relevant scientific opinion by the EFSA CONTAM Panel. Within this framework, occurrence data for Alternaria toxins (Alternariol, Alternariol monomethyl ether, Tenuazonic acid, Tentoxin, and Altenuene) in 97 samples of cereal foods, t ...

Ecofriendly management methods including netting, reflective ribbons, silver shining plates, reflective mirrors (CDs), and scare crow were evaluated to prevent damage of Rose-ringed Parakeet at germinating and maturity stage of Sunflower crop fields at University Seed Farm, Ladhowal and Regional Research Statioin, Ballowal Saunkhri. The plots of 4m² were selected at the edges as well as in the int ...

Abstract:
... The numbers of large wild herbivores are rising in the Czech Republic, leading to increased grazing pressure on agricultural crops, including the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), which is highly sensitive to grazing. In this study, we aim to estimate the amount of damage to sunflower crops in the Czech Republic, experimentally evaluate the effects of grazing on sunflower development and yield and ...

Abstract:
... Stereospecific composition of triacylglycerols (TAGs) is calculated for a set of analytical data on genetically modified sunflower and soybean seed oils, using different mathematical models for TAG assembly. The models are related to biochemical pathways. The data (Reske et al., JAOCS 74 (1997) 989–998) consist of total fatty acid profiles, fatty acid proportion in the sn‐positions of TAGs, and TA ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of specific volatile compounds (analyzed by SPME‐GC‐MS) in citrus honey, comparing thyme, and sunflower, and to correlate their abundance with the level of methyl‐anthranilate (accepted as a true marker in citrus honey), for which a minimum content is mandatory in commercial transactions. Methyl‐anthranilate is well correlated with certain v ...

... CONSTANS-like (COL) genes play crucial roles in the regulation of photoperiodic flowering and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses; however, COL genes in sunflower (HaCOL) have not been extensively studied. In the present study, we identified 22 putative HaCOL genes in the whole genome sequence of sunflower, which were unevenly distributed on 10 chromosomes. The phylogenetic analysis showed th ...

Abstract:
... Currently, liquid biofuels, and especially biodiesel, are increasingly used. In terms of agricultural production, there arises an urgent question whether utilization of biofuels in agricultural tractors is feasible and efficient. Majority of results regarding the biodiesel use comes from bench tests of engines. However, work of any machine-tractor unit under real conditions, except for the steady- ...

Abstract:
... Sunflower kernel is rich in protein and is considered an alternative plant protein source for meat analogue application. The effect of process conditions used to make ingredients from sunflower kernel needs to be investigated on the functional and structuring properties. Pre-pressing and de-oiling with 96% ethanol were applied to obtain de-oiled sunflower kernel (DSK). Pressed sunflower kernel (PS ...

Several polyunsaturated fatty acids are considered to have beneficial health effects, while saturated fatty acids and industrial trans fatty acids (TFAs) are linked to negative health consequences. Given the increased formation of TFAs during heating, many studies already investigated compositional changes in oils after prolonged heating or at extremely high temperatures. In contrast, our aim was ...

Abstract:
... Sunflower rust, caused by Puccinia helianthi, is an economically and globally important disease of sunflower. Two types of sunflower are produced in the U.S. Northern Great Plains: the oilseed type and the confection type. Although approximately 80% of the acreage in this region is planted as the oilseed-type sunflower, fungicide efficacy and timing studies have been conducted primarily on the mor ...

... We studied the effect of rutin on mycelial growth and fruiting of Hericium coralloides, Polyporus umbellatus, and Flammulina velutipes on sunflower husks and on agar nutrient media. On sunflower husks, rutin (300 mg/30 g husk) inhibits the mycelial growth of H. coralloides, but the formation of fruiting bodies of the fungus occurs 3 weeks earlier than on the substrate, where rutin was not used.

Abstract:
... Eared doves (Zenaida auriculata) cause significant economic damage to mature sunflower in Argentina. Empirical evidences indicate that some sunflower hybrids (e.g. confectionary and stripped oilseed) might be less susceptible to bird damage than others (e.g. black oilseed). However, these less susceptible hybrids could imply a trade-off between damage reduction and oil content on the seeds. In thi ...

Abstract:
... The analysis of statistical data showed that a large amount of plant waste is generated annually in oil and fat production plants, which must be processed and reused. The paper analyzes the problems of reusing sunflower oil production waste, which is characterized by a relatively high energy value: 1 ton of plant waste is equivalent to 0.625 tons of conventional fuel. According to the mathematical ...
