Helianthus Spartacusii (ReGen)



Helianthus Spartacusii (Spartacus Sunflower) is a new subspecies of Helianthus Dr. Amstray and his team created at the Alexander Hamilton Research Facility in Nebraska in 1998. The subspecies was intended to be a cultivar of Helianthus intended as decoration for ReGen's Research Facility in the same state and as a new Oilseed crop.

Creation
Dr. Amstray's hypothesis was to replace the common sunflower as a an oilseed crop with another identical member. Randall Herman had eventually joined him and started doing research to develop a new plant for the oilseed industry as an alternative to rapeseed.

Techniques
The Genomes of the flower were sequenced manually, as well as chromosomes being tweaked. The pseudanthium ended out to be extremely fluffy due to a gene mistake.
