the influence of salinity on the different polyamine fractions (free, conjugated, and bound) was compared in a natrophilic halophyte (beta vulgaris l. cv. ic) and a salt sensitive glycophyte (nicotiana rustica l. cv. basmas). low-level salinity (25 mm nacl) and high salinity (150 and 50 mm nacl for sugar beet and tobacco, respectively) were supplied in hydroponics. under low salinity shoot dry ...

In previous papers (Y. Ikeda and T. Nishino, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 32:1073-1077, 1988; Y. Ikeda, T. Nishino, and T. Tanino, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 31:865-869, 1987), we reported that many of the 7-aminothiazolyl cephalosporins, such as cefmenoxime, showed paradoxically reduced activity against Proteus vulgaris at higher concentrations, whereas these paradoxical effects were not o...

Utilization of Univariate Parametric and non-Parametric Methods in the Stability Analysis Sugar Yield Beet (Beta vulgaris L.) Hybrids

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...

A compound of unusual structure was isolated from red beetroot (Beta vulgaris) peel extract and identified as 5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-biindolyl based on the combination of NMR and MS studies.

For maximum sucrose production by sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) in southern Idaho, the available soil nitrogen (N) level should be highest during early July, when the plant N uptake (N u p) rate is highest, and lowest by the latter part of August ( 1, 12r. Inadequate N during the early growth stages limits root and sucrose yield, whereas excess N stimulates top growth, increases root impurities...
