In the previous studies we concentrated attention to "head inclination' as one of the progressive sunflower plant traits. This trait has been found to be conditioned by a large number of major genes. Hybridological analysis has revealed 12 genes forming four three-member groups; each of the gene triads regulates the head inclination by 15 and within the gene triad complete dominance exist. The aim of this study is investigation of other progressive traits such as petiole length, leaf position and reaction of these traits to stand structure, i.e., increased stand density,
