Response of Beta vulgaris L. to nitrogen and micronutrients in dry environment

Response of root yield and quality of sugar beet (beta vulgaris)to salt stress

Growth and dry matter partitioning in sugar beet plants (Beta vulgaris L.) under moderate drought

Growth response of sugar beet plants to drought stress applied at different growth stages has been investigated. Cessation of watering imposed moderate water stress and resulted in the reduction of the relative water content of young and old leaves maximally by 6%. However, water content in taproot was more drastically decreased than in the shoot. Water withholding reduced dry ma�er accumulatio...

Effect of Nitrogen and Weed Interference on the Quality and Quantity of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

In order to determine the effect of weeds interference and nitrogen on the sugar beet growth and yield, a field study was performed in the 2010 growing season as a split plot design based on RCBD with three replications in Hana region (Semirom, Esfahan). Treatments were four levels of nitrogen from urea source as the main factor (0, 70, 150 and 210 kg ha-1) and weed interference at five levels ...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.).

Creating transgenic plants is invaluable for the genetic analysis of sugar beet and will be increasingly important as sugar beet genomic technologies progress. A protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugar beet is described in this chapter. Our protocol is optimized for a sugar beet genotype that performs exceptionally well in tissue culture, including the steps of dedifferentia...

Nitrogen Source Regulation of Growth and Photosynthesis in Beta vulgaris L.

Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv F58-554H1) were grown hydroponically in a 16-h light, 8-h dark period at a photosynthetic photon flux density of 0.5 mmol m-2 s-1 for 4 weeks in half-Hoagland culture solution containing only nitrate-nitrogen. Half of the plants were then transferred to half-Hoagland solution with ammonium-nitrogen (7.35mM), while the other half continued on 7.5 mM nitrate. Grow...
