Cultivated beets, including leaf garden fodder and sugar which belong to the species Beta vulgaris L., are economically important edible crops that have been originated from a halophytic wild ancestor, maritima L. (sea beet or beet). Salt drought major abiotic stresses, limit crop growth production most studied in beets compared other environmental stresses. Characteristically, salt- drought-to...

Erythritol – a polyol suitable for human nutrition is industrially produced by microorganisms from costly glucose-rich or starch-rich feedstocks. However, the utilization of sugary by-products food industries could significantly reduce process costs. This study examined erythritol production sugarcane molasses, beet molasses and surplus grape musts, comparing four fungal strains. Beet presented...

Using potted sugar beet plants we aimed to investigate the suitability of four fluorescence indices to detect and differentiate the impact of nitrogen supply, water deficit and powdery mildew in two sugar beet cultivars (Beta vulgaris L.). Plants were grown inside a polytunnel under two nitrogen levels combined with water deficit or full irrigation. Changes in plant physiology were recorded at ...
