The main goal of sunflower seed production is to produce genetically and physiologically clear seed that is physiologically mature and corresponds to the cultivar (genetically), inbred line or hybrid created and registered by breeder. One of the most important factors in seed production planning is good knowledge of specific traits of parental lines that are used for hybrid seed production. These traits are specific for each line. The aim of this work was to obtain information necessary for all segments of sunflower seed production and processing. We have assumed that some environmental factors affect yield and quality of produced seed. Different genotypes react differently to different environmental conditions. 18 different genotypes (10 sterile lines and 8 restorers) were used in the experiment. Morphological and productive traits were studied as well as specificities connected to seed processing of certain parental lines of sunflower, yield of the lines, seed germination, 1000 seed mass, oil and protein content in sunflower seed and inter-dependence of these traits. Interdependence of some tested traits was found.
