  • Patent number: 9750216
    Abstract: A hybrid sunflower, designated X4237, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of hybrid sunflower X4237, to the plants of hybrid sunflower X4237 and to methods for producing a sunflower plant by crossing the cultivar X4237 with itself or another sunflower. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic sunflower plants and plant parts produced by those methods and to methods for producing other hybrid sunflower derived from hybrid sunflower X4237.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9675035
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel mutant allele of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) designated NSMA, which confers white seed color to sunflower plants. The present invention also relates to plants and seeds of the family or line carrying the NSMA allele. In addition, the present invention is also directed to transferring the NSMA allele to plants in the same species lacking the allele, and is useful for producing novel types and varieties of white-seeded sunflowers.

  • Patent number: 9642329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inbred sunflower, designated SA425A. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred sunflower SA425A, to the plants of inbred sunflower SA425A and to methods for producing a sunflower plant by crossing cultivar SA425A with itself or another sunflower. The invention further relates to methods for producing a sunflower plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic sunflower plants and plant parts produced by those methods and to methods for producing other hybrid sunflower derived from inbred sunflower SA425A.
