Based on long-term work on induced mutations using dimethyl sulfate (DMS) at medium doses (concentrations) a large number of mutagenic lines was obtained. The source cultivar for obtaining the mutants was VNIIMK 8931. The mutations were obtained by changing the growth period plant height stem form changes of the head (size form and shape) changes of the leaves (color size form serratedness petiole length) and changes of the size shape color and levels of oil and protein and their quality. The most important mutations presented in this paper pertain to resistance to low temperatures (up to '30 °C) in what can be termed winter sunflower (M-2002-Morzh and M-1701-Ice King). Of great value is also the mutant M-1880-Udochka (aphylla leafless) with its small leaves and short petioles which enables the increase in plant population of up to 500000 plants/ha.
