Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are plant cell wall proteins that inhibit pathogen and pest polygalacturonases (PGs). PGIPs are members of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein family that play crucial roles in development, pathogen defense and recognition of beneficial microbes in plants. Two sugar beet PGIP genes, Bv(FC607)PGIP1 and Bv(FC607)PGIP2, were cloned from a breeding li...

in order to assess the heritability of short vegetation period (early maturity) of sugar beet hybrids, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block (rcb) design with 4 replications in abdolrasoul motahari agricaltural research station of sugar beet seed institute, karaj, iran in 2009. in this research, the heredity of the traits in testcrosses derived from crosses of 18 half sib f...

water and soil salinity in some regions of isfahan, east azerbaijan, and west azerbaijan provinces and also other parts of the iran are the main hindrance for crop planting. seeds of the tolerant crops to salinity such as cotton and sugar beet may have optimal germination and give acceptable performance if they become far from salt accumulation areas. to evaluate the effects of different planti...

to determine the effects of different irrigation and salinity levels on qualitative and quantitative yield of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted for two years (2006-07)at torogh agricultural research center, mashhad, iran, using two sprinkler systems. each of the two irrigation systems was connected to two water sources with 1 and 6 ds/m salinity. irrigation was performed via two sprinkler...

Paclobutrazol (Pbz) is a triazol that effectively inhibits vegetative growth in peach. Changes in mineral element concentration have been generally found. However, uneven distribution of the elements in the soil may partially account for these differences. To ascertain these effects, an experiment was designed under controlled conditions, in which sugar beet, used as a model plant, was grown hi...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of lime application on the mass and sugar losses reduction from 2004 to 2005 in karaj. four lime concentrations of 0, 3, 4 and 5 percent (factor a) and storage durations of 30 and 60 days (factor b) were arranged as factorial experiment in rcbd with four replications. the commercial variety of shirin was drilled in early may and storage roots w...

BACKGROUND: The use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizers is important for soil fertility and plants health production. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to examine the effects of different types and rates of vermicompost on physiological and morphological properties of lettuce. METHODS: Present study was conducted acco...

general combining ability of sugar beet parents were determined for different quantity and quality characteristics.forty six sugar beet hybrids obtained from crosses of 23 diploid pollinators with two male sterile parents as tester together with three checks were evaluated for 10 important agronomic and technological characters at kamalshar research station in karaj in 2004.experiment was carri...

Field-grown sugar beets were analysed for morphological characters, sucrose content, and reproducible transcript profiles by macroarray analyses with 11,520 unique sugar-beet cDNA targets in two different years. Seasonal differences were partly compensated by expressing sampling dates as thermal time. During early beet development the number of cambial rings, root length, and sucrose concentrat...
