Abstrakt: Sunflower is a commodity that has great potential to be developed. The seeds contain antioxidants that are very needed in the pharmaceutical industry and the health sector. The market price of sunflower plant seed oil is very high but the amount of sunflower production in Indonesia is quite low. This potential can be utilized by developing sunflower cultivation in the highlands and lowlands. This research aimed to study the morpho-physiological responses of sunflower plants grown in the highlands and lowlands. The study was conducted at Alahan Panjang (highland) and Padang (lowland). The method used in this study is quantitative. The results based on the T-test showed that the altitude of the place is an external factor that affects the factors of production. The morphological and physiological responses of sunflower plants planted in the lowlands are better than sunflower plants grown in the highlands, such as higher plant height, more number of leaves, larger branch diameter, and high production of seed around 1.04 ton/ha and contain higher chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll. To increase the amount of sunflower production, it is recommended to plant sunflowers seed accession Ha1 in the lowlands area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
