it is well known that sugar beet is sensitive to salinity stress at the germination stage. three separate experiments were conducted to study the effects of salinity on seed germination, plant establishment, and yield of sugar beet genotypes for screening purposes. these included: (a) a laboratory study using four water salinity levels (with ec values < 0.1 as the control, 16, 20, and 24 ds m-1...

The boron in plant cell walls, which is water-insoluble and in the solid state, is solubilized by pectinase digestion to give a dimeric rhamnogalacturonan II-borate (dRG-II-B) complex. To clarify the nondestructive structure of boron present in plant cell walls (as represented by sugar beet fiber), we performed 192- and 96-MHz 11B solid state NMR measurements. The use of a high field magnet fre...

The aim of the paper was to show that Serbia has favorable natural conditions (land and climate) for diverse agricultural production (plant- animal-based), experienced manufacturers, experts scientists, as well world-famous selections numerous plant cultures. Serbia's major products are corn, wheat (flour), sunflower (oil pellets), sugar beet (sugar), soybean protein products), potatoes, raspbe...

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

cover type of on–farm storages has an important role in reducing the freezing damage and respiration of beet roots in the pile. this experiment was conducted in 2006 in karaj region in order to evaluate the effects of cover types of storage on the mass and sugar losses of both topped and untopped beets. the experimental design was a split plot factorial in rcbd with three replications. the main...

Trichoderma species are among important antagonists of plant pathogenic fungi. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocontrol potential of native Trichoderma spp. isolates from sugar beet fields against Phytophthora drechsleri and P. cryptogea, the causal agents of Phytophthora root rot of sugar beet. During 2007–08, 85 isolates of Trichoderma spp. from sugar beet fields in eight...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. ssp. vulgaris) is one of the most important European crops for both food and sugar production. Crop improvement has been developed to enhance productivity, sugar content or other breeder's desirable traits. The introgression of traits from Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) has been done essentially for lessening biotic stresses constraints, namely using Beta and Patellifoli...
