The paper shows that pollinator guilds shape sunflower nectar microbiota in a genotype-dependent manner, with diurnal visits seeding specialist taxa that depend on nectar availability and composition.

The paper shows a single nucleotide polymorphism in a cell-wall invertase gene affects sunflower nectar chemistry, microbial diversity, and pollinator visits.

PolliCrop is a computer vision pipeline that detects and identifies flower-visiting insects on sunflower plants, showing accurate performance in predicting visitation frequencies across genotypes.

This study analyzes the genomic and phenotypic impacts of wild introgressions in sunflower, finding that while some traits improve, most introgressions negatively affect yield and quality.

Heliaphen is an outdoor platform for high-throughput phenotyping that integrates genetic and crop modeling to study drought responses and ideotype adaptation.

This study compares additive and non-additive GWAS models to identify genomic regions controlling flowering time in sunflower hybrids, finding non-additive models better detect trait-associated loci.
