Registration of Three Maintainer (HA 456, HA 457, and HA 412 HO) High-Oleic Oilseed Sunflower Germplasms.

The article presents the registration of three maintainer oilseed sunflower germplasms. The three maintainers include HA 456, HA 457 and HA 412 HO. The germplasms were developed and released by the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. These high-oleic germplasms are available for use by industry and public researchers to create hybrid, parental lines, or germplasms with a midoleic or high-oleic fatty acid concentration in the oil.
