The objectives of the present work are: to create genetic variability in cultivated sunflower, to select mutant lines resistant to Alternaria diseases; and to evaluate these lines for oil content. Advanced resistant mutant lines will be multiplied for field trials and selected for hybrid production. The best hybrids will be rapidly distributed to sunflower farmers.
