Development of high oil content (>40%) inbreds, parental lines and hybrids assumes priority in sunflower. Towards this objective, a high oil content genetic stock HOSuS-1 was developed through introduction and selection from the genotype GP4-1424 imported from Russia. Selections were made for different characters including oil content in later generations. The line HOSuS-1 was found promising for oil content (>40%). To confirm high oil content, seed samples were analyzed during the years 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020 through NMR at ICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The mean oil content of the newly developed line over the years was 41.32% compared to the best check (35.54%) and confirmed through Soxhlet analysis as well. This newly developed genetic stock will be useful in developing high oil content and high oil yielding hybrids, gene pools, inbreds and parental lines in sunflower.
