The efficient and robust statistical analysis of the shape of plant cultivars is an important investigation issue in fields such as plant breeding or growth monitoring. A quantitative shape analysis based on concepts from continuum mechanics is proposed to compute shape averages and a principal component analysis for a given set of tuber root shapes. The underlying model uses an implicit repres...

When Fe was withheld from sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. CV F58-44H1), the activities of NADP-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, and ribulose 5-phosphate kinase were not diminished, while chlorophyll per area was decreased by 75%. On resupplying Fe, chlorophyll per area increased to control levels within 5 days, whereas the activities of the three enzymes rema...

Previous methods of extracting pectin from sugar-beet have used pulp as the starting material. As the temperature and pressure of the pulping process may modify the architecture of the cell wall, we have adapted a relatively non-disruptive method to characterise cell wall material (CWM) isolated directly from the sugar-beet. Cell walls from mature sugar-beets (Beta vulgaris L Aztec) were sequen...

Gene flow via seed or pollen is a basic biological process in plant evolution. The ecological and genetic consequences of gene flow depend on the amount and direction of gene flow as well as on the fitness of hybrids. The assessment of potential risks of transgenic plants should take into account the fact that conventional crops can often cross with wild plants. The precautionary approach in ri...

Large amounts of waste biomass are generated in sugar factories from the processing of sugar beets. After diffusion with hot water to draw the sugar from the beet pieces, a wet material remains called pulp. In this study, waste sugar beet pulp biomass was enzymatically depolymerized, and the obtained hydrolyzates were subjected to fermentation processes. Bioethanol, biomethane, and biohydrogen ...

The Present world energy scenario is focused at nonconventional sources. The biomass has emerged as one of the dependable nontraditional feed stocks for the production ethanol. The present review enlighten various feed stocks viz. sugar beets, sugar cane corn, wheat, barley etc. and fermentation methods for the production of ethanol. The use of biomass for clean energy generation in the Europea...

the effects of pulsed electric field (pef) on the cell disintegration of sugar beet were studied. field strength (0.5kv/cm to 6kv/cm), pulse number (1 to 100 pulses) and capacity of capacitors (0.5 f to 32 f) were evaluated on degree of cell disintegration and consumed energy in pef treatment. the field conditions of 1 and 2 kv/cm, 8 f with 20 and 10 pulses respectively disintegrated the cel...
