Abstract

Podrijetlo kulturnog suncokreta (Helianthus annuus L.) još uvijek je otvoreno pitanje. Dugo je
vremena postojao znanstveni konsensus da je suncokret udamaćen samo jednom i to na
istoku Sjeverne Amerike. Otkriće ostataka suncokreta na pretkolumbovskim arheološkim
nalazištima u Meksiku je dovelo do postavljanja hipoteze o još jednom centru udomaćenja i
to na području Srednje Amerike. No, arheološki i lingvistički dokazi postojanja kultiviranog
suncokreta u Meksiku u pretkolumbovsko vrijeme koje su predočili neki autori su dovedeni u
pitanje dok rezultati genetskih analiza podržavaju hipotezu o samo jednom centru
udomaćenja.

Abstract (english)

The origin of cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is still an open question. The
scientific consensus had long been that sunflower was domesticated once in eastern North
America. The discovery of pre-Columbian sunflower remains at archaeological sites in
Mexico led to the hypothesis of a second center of domestication in Mesoamerica.
Archaeological and linguistic evidences of pre-Columbian presence of the cultivated
sunflower in Mexico supplied by some authors were called into question by others while the
results of genetic analyses support the hypothesis of a single domestication event.
