This present investigation was undertaken to determine some plant characters in six wild Helianthus genotypes and their test hybrids in 2007 and2008. Helianthus petiolaris spp. petiolaris (E-142), Helianthus neglectus (E-017) and four wild Helianthus annuus (E-060, E-173, E-174 and E-175) wereused as the material. The morphological characters observed in the wild Heli-anthus genotypes were plant height, head diameter, lateral number, number ofdays to 50% flowering, flowering period length, and presence of anthocyanin inthe cotyledons. In the second year, test hybrids of E-017, E-142, E-173 and E-175 with the female line 2453-A were evaluated for seed yield, seed weight andsome morphological traits. The results showed that plant height, head diame-ter and lateral number for these wild genotypes ranged from 63 to 171 cm, 2.4to 8 cm and 43 to 324.3, respectively. The wild sunflower genotypes needed82-105 days after emergence to reach 50% flowering and had flowering periodsof 67-91 days. E-142 (Helianthus petiolaris spp. petiolaris) and its test hybridwith the female line 2453A were similarly in the early group for days to 50%flowering. E-017 (Helianthus neglectus) and its test hybrids were similarly latefor days to 50% flowering. Interestingly, although E-173 had medium plantheight, its test hybrid had the shortest plants.
