Historic breeding practices contribute to germplasm divergence in leaf specialized metabolism and ecophysiology in cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus).

This study examines how historical breeding practices in sunflower affect leaf ecophysiology and specialized metabolism by analyzing 288 cultivated lines across heterotic groups.

Plasticity and the role of mass-scaling in allocation, morphology and anatomical trait responses to above and belowground resource limitation in cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

This study examines how mass-scaling and active plasticity influence trait responses to light and nutrient limitation in sunflower, showing both passive and active mechanisms contribute to resource acquisition.
