Abstract: Sunflower is an important oilseed crop. Typically, new cultivars with improved agronomic traits are developed through conventional breeding program. Here, we describe a method of sunflower embryo rescue to accelerate trait introduction into plants. Further, weeds are a significant issue for the sunflower crop. However, there are not many selective herbicides for sunflower. Here, using the embryo rescue methodology, we further describe in vitro herbicidal section methodologies.
