197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow. -

Oilseeds such as flax, canola, safflower, soybean and sunflower, which are annual plants, provide the world’s major source of vegetable oils, although the highest oil yield comes from oil-bearing tree fruits. One of the most popular oil seeds is safflower (Carthamus tinctorius Introduction L.), which belongs to the Asteraceae family.

A Survey on Pest Insect Fauna of Safflower Fields in the Iranian Province of Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad
African Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 6(19), pp. 4441-4446, 19 September, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJAR ISSN 1991-637X ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper A survey on pest insect fauna of safflower fields in the Iranian Province of Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad Karim Saeidi* and Nur Azura Adam Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University Putra Malaysia, 43400, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. Accepted 22 July, 2011 Safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oilseed crop and an essential component of cropping systems in the dry regions and marginal areas of the world. Since the identification of insect pests and their natural enemies is one of the most efficient methods for pest management, an attempt was made to investigate insect fauna in safflower fields of Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad Provinces, Iran. To accomplish this, three main cultivation regions were selected and insect pests and their natural enemies were surveyed and collected according to the plant phenology during 2008 to 2009. To sample different techniques, such as sweeping, sticky yellow traps, bait traps and rearing of adult insects, were used. Pest insect fauna was as follows: 1) Pest insects feeding inside the flower heads (bolls) and their natural enemies: Acanthiophilus helianthi , Chaetorellia carthami , Trellia luteola (Tephritidae), Antistrophoplex conthurnatus , Microdontomenu annulatus (Torymidae), Bracon hebetor , Bracon luteator (Braconidae); unidentified specimen (Ichneumonidae), Pronotalia carlinarum (Eulophidae), Ormyrus orientalis (Ormyridae), Colotrechnus viridis , Pteromalus sp. (Pteromalidae), Eurytoma acroptilae (Eurytomidae); Isocolus tinctorius (Cynipidae). 2) Pest insects feeding around the flower heads (bolls) and their natural enemies: Oxycarenus palens , Oxycarenus hyalipennis , Lygus spp. (Lygaeidae), unidentified specimens (Dermestidae), Aphids and Thripses. -

Losses caused by larval feeding lead to disrupted plant activities, reduction in flower buds and ultimately decreased quality and quantity of the crop. In order to study seasonal flight activity of Acanthiophilus helianthi, experiments were conducted for two consecutive years at two different fields in Gachsaran region in 2007-2008. The seasonal flight ofAcanthiophilus helianthi was investigated by using Baits traps and collecting samples from eggs, larva and pupa stages of the pest. The results showed that Acanthiophilus helianthi has three generations with an incomplete 4th in the region. Damage of first and fourth generation was very low. The flower heads were mainly damaged by the second and third generation of Acanthiophilus helianthi that happened about ten days after the adult emergency. Keywords: Acanthiophilus helianthi; Flight activity; Population has four generations in Esfehan. -
Comparative Demographic Parameters of Safflower Capsule Fly, Acanthiophilus Helianthi (Dip.: Tephritidae) on Different Safflower Genotypes
J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2018) Vol. 20: 1161-1172 Comparative Demographic Parameters of Safflower Capsule Fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi (Dip.: Tephritidae) on Different Safflower Genotypes H. Barkhordar1, A. Karimi-Malati2*, M. Ghafouri Moghaddam1, and A. Abedi1 ABSTRACT Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oilseed crop in Iran and many other countries around the world. Safflower fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi is one of the main limiting agents to expand the production area of the crop in different countries and the most major pests of safflower in Iran. In this research, the influence of 10 safflower genotypes on biology and population parameters of A. helianthi was evaluated under the laboratory conditions at 25±1°C, 65±5% relative humidity, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L: D) hours. The shortest and longest total developmental time were recorded in Mexico 37 (16.85±0.31) and Goldasht (21.76±0.59), respectively. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) ranged from 0.129 to 0.186 (day-1), which was lowest on Goldasht and highest in Mexico 37. The net reproductive rate (R0) ranged from 50.809 to 125.846 offspring on different genotypes. The values of finite rate of increase (λ) and mean generation time (T) on different safflower genotypes ranged from 1.138 to 1.205 day-1 and 25.778 to 30.421 days, respectively. The results demonstrated that Goldasht, Line 411, and KW2 genotypes were less suitable host plants, suggesting that they are more resistant to A. helianthi than the other genotypes, have high yield, and could have the potential for using in Integrated Pest Management program (IPM) of A. -

Fauna of Tephritinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Kahramanmaraş province of Turkey. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 13 (1): 117-128] ABSTRACT: This study is based on the Tephritinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) materials collected from Kahramanmaraş province during 2009 and 2010. During this study, 29 species belonging to 14 genera were determined from research region. Location information of the specimens examined, zoogeographical distributions and wing figures of all species were given. KEY WORDS: Fruit flies, Tephritinae, Tephritidae, Diptera, fauna, Kahramanmaraş, Turkey The fruit flies family are represented by 6 subfamilies, 500 genera and about 4500 species in the world (Freidberg, 2006). Faunistic studies on the fruit flies began with Giray (1966) in Turkey. Koçak & Kemal (2013) reported the largest list for Turkey Tephritidae fauna. According to this list, the Turkey Tephritidae fauna was represented with 156 species. In the studies done later, Yaran & Kütük (2014) described as a new species Urophora turkeyensis from Niğde. Yaran (2014) recorded Dioxyna sororcula, Terellia ivannikovi and Urophora trinervii species for the first time from Turkey in his PhD thesis. Thus, the Turkey Tephritidae fauna has reached to 160 species. The Tephritinae subfamily has the highest number of genera and species in the family of fruit flies in Turkey. In this study, fauna of Tephritinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) were determined in Kahramanmaraş province.
