Abstract:

To evaluate sugar beet germplasm for identifying drought tolerant genotypes, precise methods are required for application of drought stress. A field experiment carried out as split arrangments in randomized complete block design with four replications in Karaj, Iran in 2007 and 2008. Main plots consisted of eight irrigation treatments with furrow and tape drip irrigation methods after 30 mm (except furrow irrigation) 80, 130 and 180 mm evaporation from the class A evaportation pan. Four sugar beet genotype; 7112, BP Karaj, BP Mashhad and BP Karaj (I13*A37.1) were randomized in sub-plots. The 30 mm level of tape drip irrigation was applied at two levels of %75 and %100 sugar beet crop water requirement. Combined analysis of variance showed that there was significant differences between irrigation treatments, for root yield, sugar yield and white sugar yield. The lowest root yield obtained in tape irrigation after 130 mm (41.2 t.ha-1) and 80 and 180 mm (41.7 t.ha-1) evaporation from calss A evaporation pan, respectively.  The highest root yield obtained in furrow irrigation after 80 and 130 mm (> 50.8 tha-1) evaporation from class A evaporation pan, respectively. Tape irrigation after 80 mm evaporation and furrow irrigation after 130 mm evaporation from class A evaporation pan had the lowest (6.35 t.ha-1) and highest (9.31 t.ha-1) sugar yield, respectively. Average water use in furrow irrigation after 80 mm evaporation from class A evaporation pan (common irrigation practice with 8-10 days interval) was 16000 m3.ha-1. However, average water use in drip tape irrigation after 30 mm evaporation from class A evaporation pan to meet 75% sugar beet crop water requirement was 7350 m3.ha-1. The highest and lowest irrigation water productivity belonged to drip tape irrigation after 30 mm (1.56 kgsugar.m-3) and furrow irrigation after 180 mm (0.42 kgsugar.m-3) evaporation from class A evaporation pan, respectively. Considering the results of this research, tape drip irrigation after 30 mm evaporation from class A evaporation pan with supplying 75% of sugar beet crop water requirement was identified as suiable irrigation system for application of drought stress for screening sugar beet germplasm.

Evaluation of some drought tolerance genes expressions and enzymatic changes in sugar beet monogerm cultivars under drought stress conditions

Sugar beet is a strategic and industrial crop and important in sugar production. Drought is a limited factor in sugar beet yield. Base on this, an experiment carried out using a split-plot format in the randomized complete block design with 4 replications in 1394-5 at Chenaran area (Bahman Jan village). The main plot included three drop irrigation regimes: 7, 14 and 21 days interval as normal, ...

Changes in Carbohydrates and Sugar Yield in Sugar Beet (Beta Vulgaris L.) Under Different Biofertilizers and Irrigation Closed Time

Objective: Many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. Thus agronomic package must be always modified. This sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at Dorud region of Iran, during 2013. Methods: The experiment...

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...
