Since 2000 a research is in progress on wild sunflowers in Argentina, comprising naturalized H. annuus and H. petiolaris populations, and their relationship with cultivated sunflower. The study includes morphological, phenological, biochemical and molecular aspects, addressed to explain dispersal and adaptive processes and gene flow within sunflower crop. We present here a summary of results obtained during the last five years.H. annuus and H. petiolaris populations, and their relationship with cultivated sunflower.
