Arten Helianthus annuus inkluderer kultiverte, ville og mer ugress-lignende former av den vanlige solsikken. Arten inngår i solsikkens primære genpool, som betyr at individer i denne arten kan avles med kultiverte varianter for å produsere sterkt, levedyktig avkom. Ville slektninger av avling i den primære genpoolen er de enkleste å bruke i arbeidet med pre-avl.
