Excerpt from source

Sunflower yield stagnation driven by genetic erosion threatens edible oil security, necessitates the integration of adaptive genetic resources. This study conducted the phenotypic valorization of 114 Pakistan's indigenous sunflower landraces along with 3 checks to characterize genetic diversity, analyze yield-associated traits, and identify superior genotypes for sunflower improvement programs. The experiment was conducted in an augmented block design using six blocks at the Agriculture Research Farm, Hazara University, Mansehra. Data on 9 morpho-yield related traits were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), cluster analysis, and correlation…
