He and Andrea Mattioli published a detailed description of the species. The sunflower was mainly used for ornamental and medicinal purposes in the following two centuries. In the early 1800s, its cultivation area expanded as a consequence of two new, divergent uses and breeding programs: oilseed production and seed consumption. Nowadays, sunflower is cropped for many uses, mainly food, feed, and biodiesel. Beyond the global interest in this crop, it is extremely difficult to predict its cultivation and productivity in the short\/medium term because of the current geopolitical and climate change scenarios. In this last perspective, sunflower cropping should foresee the integration of (i) crop breeding for improving quali-quantitative traits and biotic and abiotic stress tolerance; (ii) agronomic practices to increase the resilience of this crop through anticipated sowing dates and scheduled irrigation according to its phenological phases; and (iii) exploration of new cultivation areas towards higher latitudes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/agriculture12121978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,23]],"date-time":"2022-11-23T02:55:51Z","timestamp":1669172151000},"page":"1978","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Sunflower: From Cortuso\u2019s Description (1585) to Current Agronomy, Uses and Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Vittoria","family":"Giannini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry (TESAF), University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmelo","family":"Maucieri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3051-3686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teofilo","family":"Vamerali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Zanin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5539-8947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Schiavon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7403-9560","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Davide Matteo","family":"Pettenella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry (TESAF), University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8023-0687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Bona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4074-2098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maurizio","family":"Borin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment\u2014DAFNAE, University of Padua, Agripolis Campus, Viale dell\u2019Universit\u00e0 16, 35020 Legnaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Zukosky, P.M.
