the main objective of this research was the measurement of soil characteristics, land evaluation and determination of potential yield of sugar beet in yekanat plain of marand. for doing this, firstly, yield potential of sugar beet was estimated by fao method and secondly land evaluation of different soil units for sugar beet cultivation was determined by parametric method. results showed that m...

Proteinase inhibitors provide a means of engineering plant resistance to insect pests. A Beta vulgaris serine proteinase inhibitor gene (BvSTI) was fused to the constitutive CaMV35S promoter for over-expression in Nicotiana benthamiana plants to study its effect on lepidopteran insect pests. Independently derived BvSTI transgenic tobacco T2 homozygous progeny were shown to have relatively high ...

introduction sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) as the second most important world’s sugar source after sugarcane is one of the major industrial crops. the presence of weeds in sugar beet fields, especially at early growth stages, results in a substantial decrease in the crop yield. it is very important to efficiently eliminate weeds at early growing stages. the first step of precision weed control ...

in order to evaluate some agronomical management on weed control in sugar beet this experiment was conducted at safi-abad agr.res.center, dezful in 2002 and 2004. tow planting dates, september 16 and october 12 and five cultivator applications, one and two time application at 4-6 and 6-8 leaf stages, respectively and once plus hand hoeing, weedy and weed free checks arranged in split plot desig...

Betaine is used mainly in animal nutrition as a methyl group donor and may be used to replace choline chloride, which is generally regarded as hygroscopic and difficult to handle. In the past, betaine was obtained exclusively from sugar beet, today however, various chemically bound forms from different manufacturing processes are available. The biological properties (bioactivity) of the differe...

Defoliation produced by abiotic factors and the subsequent re-growth can reduce sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) sucrose content and final sugar yield. Field experiments were conducted during 2003 and 2004 growing seasons in the farm of Hellenic Sugar Industry SA, Larissa factory, central Greece. Three sugar beet cultivars (Rival, Europa and Corsica) were ordinary irrigated till the beginning of J...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) is an important crop plant that accounts for 30% of the world's sugar production annually. The genus Beta is a distant relative of currently sequenced taxa within the core eudicotyledons; the genomic characterization of sugar beet is essential to make its genome accessible to molecular dissection. Here, we present comprehensive genomic information in genetic and physi...

In recent years, the new trend is towards bio-fuel. One of these biofuels is ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which could be produced economically by the controlled fermentation of biomasses. The results of the alcoholic fermentation of beet sugar molasses and wheat milling residues (Akalona) were fed into a computer program. The kinetic parameters for these fermentation reactions were determined. Thes...

the objective of the present experiment was to study the root mass and sugar losses of sugar beet during the storing beets in two methods of on-farm storage. a factorial split plot experiment with nine replications based on a completely randomized design was conducted during 2005 in the experimental fields of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi) of iran, in karaj. combination of two harvest dates (...

Lennefors, B-L. 2006. Molecular breeding for resistance to rhizomania in sugar beets. Doctor’s dissertation ISSN: 1652-6880, ISBN: 91-576-7255-5 Rhizomania is one of the most destructive sugar beet diseases. It is caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) vectored by the soilborne protoctist Polymyxa betae Keskin. The studies in this thesis evaluated natural and transgenic resistances t...
