The Sugar Beet Industry

Production of By-Products of the Sugar Beet Industry

Technical men outside of the sugar industry are apt to view the manufacture of sucrose from sugar beets as a most interesting and somewhat complex process. Those of us who are not sugar technologists are frequently astonished at the amount of knowledge that has been developed in that industry, at the smoothness of its operation, at the degree of operational standardizing which has taken place b...

Improvement of the Sugar Beet

SUGARCANE and sugar beet are the important sources of sugar. This foodstuff, wldcli today is one of the purest and cheapest in our dietary, two centuries ago was a luxury available only to the rich. The story of the rise of sugar production to meet an ever-increasing demand is a romance of agriculture and chemistry. The accomplishments of the plant breeder and the chemical engineer in making th...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.).

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...
