Abstract
A total of 230 hybrids have been introduced in a sunflower breeding program as initial material and submitted to selection for the following traits: earliness, size of head, position of head related to the stem, stay green, tolerance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, tolerance to Phomopsis sp., CMS-Rf ability. Some interspecific hybrids were promoted through advanced generations of selfing, such as H. annuus x STR, ARG x H. annuus, RIG x H. annuus, (ANN x DEB) x H. annuus, the others were tested for CMS and restoration ability by crossing and offspring evaluation. The new CMS source ANT-1 is the most promising source for a new CMS-pollen fertility restoration system in sunflower hybrid production. Interspecific hybrids are important as donors and crosses for introgressing new favorable alleles to parent inbred lines.
Keywords: interspecific hybrids, CMS, restorers
