Microgreens are immature and tender edible vegetables that have become relevant in the market due to their contribution human health as “functional food”. They can be produced controlled environments, allowing more efficient use of space resources facilitating management environmental conditions, such light, temperature, relative humidity. The study’s objective was evaluate impact photoperiod l...

BACKGROUND Sugar beet molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar beets into sugar. The molasses is known to contain sucrose and raffinose, a typical trisaccharide, with a well-established structure. Although sugar beet molasses contains various other oligosaccharides as well, the structures of those oligosaccharides have not been examined in detail. The purpose of this study wa...

Male gametogenesis in plants can be impaired by an incompatibility between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, termed cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). A sterilizing factor resides in mitochondria, whereas a nuclear factor, Restorer-of-fertility (Rf), restores male fertility. Although a majority of plant Rf genes are thought to encode a family of RNA-binding proteins called pentatrico-peptide re...

This study investigated the optimal yeast strains for producing single cell protein based on waste sugar beet pulp (SBP) under various biomass loads. All tested were capable of growing biomass. Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol Red produced greatest increase in fresh SBP (ΔN 1.84%). Scheffersomyces stipitis 2.27%) provided highest dried SBP. showed significant assimilation nit...

Red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a plant with low productivity, so it necessary to increase productivity by optimally cultivating plants. This study aims examine the composition of planting medium and right dose nitrogen fertilizer growth yield red plants which was carried out from March June 2022 in Sengkrakan Hamlet, Bedali, Lawang District, Malang Regency, East Java. designed using factorial r...

The decision of whether to release transgenic crops in the EU is one subject to flexibility, uncertainty and irreversibility. We analyse the case of herbicide-tolerant sugar beet and estimate the maximum irreversible environmental cost that can be tolerated for this technology from a benefit–cost perspective. Among Member States, these costs range from an annual € 50 to € 212 per hectare plante...
