Sugar beet bolting in the root crop

Epigenomics and bolting tolerance in sugar beet genotypes.

In sugar beet (Beta vulgaris altissima), bolting tolerance is an essential agronomic trait reflecting the bolting response of genotypes after vernalization. Genes involved in induction of sugar beet bolting have now been identified, and evidence suggests that epigenetic factors are involved in their control. Indeed, the time course and amplitude of DNA methylation variations in the shoot apical...

A morphogenetic crop model for sugar-beet

This paper is the instructions for the proceeding of the International Symposium on Crop. Sugar beet crop models have rarely taken into account the morphogenetic process generating plant architecture despite the fact that plant architectural plasticity plays a key role during growth, especially under stress conditions. The objective of this paper is to develop this approach by applying the Gree...

Bolting and flowering control in sugar beet: relationships and effects of gibberellin, the bolting gene B and vernalization

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bolting, the first visible sign of reproductive transition in beets (Beta vulgaris), is controlled by the dominant bolting gene B (B allele), which allows for flowering under long days (LDs, >14 h light) without prior vernalization. The B-locus carries recessive alleles (bb) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. spp. vulgaris), so that vernalization and LDs are required for boltin...

Predictive Modular Neural Networks Methods forPrediction of Sugar Beet Crop

In this paper we present several multiple model combination methods, utilizing neural as well as linear predictors, to predict sugar beet crop yield. The results are superior to previous prediction methods which used only neural network or only linear regresison predictors. Abstract. Key Words.
