Abstract:

A two-year experiment was carried out to study the effects of pollinator line characteristicson the quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)and select proper pollinator for five promising sugar beet cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMSs)during 2012-2013 growing seasons. In this study, four diploid pollinator lines were crossed byfive CMSs of sugar beet. It was proved that the concurrence of flowering time between femaleand male parents and pollen and pollination characters is essential for sugar beet hybrid seedproduction. Pollinator lines SHR01-P.12 and F-8662 had the largest number of pollens. Theduration of pollination for SHR01-P.12 and F-8662 was longer than other pollinator lines.Moreover, the most synchronizationof male and female recipient flowers was related to thepollen donors of SHR01-P.12 and F-8662 by the pollen receptors of 7112×SB36 andSB37×28874. Hybrids derived from crosses of CMS lines with pollinator lines SHR01-P.12 andF-8662 had significantly less empty seed percentage and the highest raw seed yield, saleableseed yield, standard seed percentage, while hybrid seeds derived from crosses of pollinator lineS1-88239 by CMS lines had the lowest quantity and quality. Our results showed that unlikeCMS lines 7112*436, the CMS lines 7112×SB36 and SB37×28874 419*SB36 and 261*231produced the highest number of seeds with the highest quality.

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...

Effect of Nitrogen and Weed Interference on the Quality and Quantity of Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

In order to determine the effect of weeds interference and nitrogen on the sugar beet growth and yield, a field study was performed in the 2010 growing season as a split plot design based on RCBD with three replications in Hana region (Semirom, Esfahan). Treatments were four levels of nitrogen from urea source as the main factor (0, 70, 150 and 210 kg ha-1) and weed interference at five levels ...

Investigation of the effect of growth period duration on quality and quantity yield of sugar beet (Beta Vulgaris L.) under autumn cultivation in Ilam province

Modification of planting season from spring to autumn in order to use green water, has been introduced as an effective and consistent agronomic strategy with climate change. For this purpose and in order to increase the cultivation of autumn sugar beet as a strategic crops in increasing the self-sufficiency of sugar in the country, it is necessary to implement research programs including determ...

study of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) monogerm hybrids seed quality changes during fruit development and maturation

background and objectives: the most important determining factor in sugar beet root yield is seed quality. seeds with germination percentage are lower; the germination is slow and non-uniform, will produce plants that initial growth is slow. according to various studies indicate that harvest time is an important factor influencing the quality of sugar beet seed. in the early harvest of sugar be...

Effects of zinc toxicity on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants grown in hydroponics.

The effects of high Zn concentration were investigated in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants grown in a controlled environment in hydroponics. High concentrations of Zn sulphate in the nutrient solution (50, 100 and 300 microm) decreased root and shoot fresh and dry mass, and increased root/shoot ratios, when compared to control conditions (1.2 microm Zn). Plants grown with excess Zn had inwa...

A morphogenetic crop model for sugar-beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

This paper is the instructions for the proceeding of the International Symposium on Crop. Sugar beet crop models have rarely taken into account the morphogenetic process generating plant architecture despite the fact that plant architectural plasticity plays a key role during growth, especially under stress conditions. The objective of this paper is to develop this approach by applying the Gree...
