Digestibility of Sunflower Hulls Treated with Sodium, Ammonium, and Potassium Hydroxides
<p>In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of sunflower hulls (SFH) treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH<sub>4</sub>OH), and potassium hydroxide (KOH) at increasing levels were studied. Tested concentrations of each alkali as percent dry matter (DM) on SFH were 1.63, 2.45, …

Increased phenotypic plasticity linked to broader geographic range size in sunflower (Helianthus) species
… the growth and fitness of broadleaf species like sunflowers (Helianthus spp.). In a garden experiment, we compared the phenotypic plasticity of five Helianthus species representing different geographic ranges. Locally restricted H. longifolius and H. verticillatus showed less plasticity in growth …

Pinching and Spacing Effects on Cut Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) Production in East Texas
… pinching nodes 1, 2, 3, or 4 on ‘Pro Cut Gold’ sunflowers. Results from experiment 1 showed non-pinched plants produced marketable stem lengths and flower sizes, while pinched plants’ stem length, stem diameter, flower diameter, and disk diameter decreased compared to the non-pinched plants. The …

Mechanisms of Acclimation of Photosynthesis and Leaf Growth to Water Deficits in Sunflower
Repeated water deficits can alter the response of photosynthesis and leaf growth to subsequent water deficits, but the mechanisms by which these changes occur are unknown. This study was conducted to evaluate the mechanisms by which photosynthesis and leaf growth acclimate to low leaf water …
