lepidoteran pests of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) cause a severe yield reduction in the most sugar beet growing areas of the world as well as in iran. due to limited genetic resources of resistance to insect pest and polygenic inhertance, improvement of pest resistance in beet by conventional breeding is a difficult task. biotechnological enhancement by introducing insect resistance genes such...

The effects of four sugar beet cultivars (Anaconda, Rozier, Evelina and Flores) on the life table parameters of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lep.: Noctuidae) were evaluated at 26 ± 1 °C, 60 ± 5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16: 8 h (L: D). The highest gross and net fecundity rates were obtained on Anaconda (2573.31 ± 27.78 and 1576.31 ± 16.65 eggs/female, respectively). The net r...

Today climate change is one of the most important human concerns This fact affected human life in different ways .  one of the most important impacts of climate change is on crops yield so that change in temperature  regime  particularly maximum and minimum  temperatures  is noticeably change plants production . in this research , is considered to  impact of climate change on water requirement ...

a field experiment was carried out during 2001 in the experimental fields of sugar beet seed institute in karaj. the objective of this study was to determine the response of some quantitative and qualitative traits of three sugar beet lines subjected to continuous water stress and normal conditions. three sugar beet lines 7219-p.69, bp-karaj and 7112 as tolerant, semi tolerant and sensitive to ...

background and objectives: sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) is the major crop in khorasan province which is mainly grown in spring. however, autumn sowing has a lot of advantages including lower crop water requirement and higher water use efficiency. accordingly, this research was performed to compare the yield of storage organ in spring and autumn-sown sugar beet and determine the most appropriat...

The RNA3-encoded p25 protein of beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is responsible for the production of rhizomania symptoms of sugar beet roots (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris). Here, it was found that the presence of the p25 protein is also associated with the resistance response in rub-inoculated leaves of sugar beet and wild beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima) plants. The resistance phe...

The structure and function of the plant microbiome is driven by plant species and prevailing environmental conditions. Effectuated by breeding efforts, modern crops diverge genetically and phenotypically from their wild relatives but little is known about consequences for the associated microbiota. Therefore, we studied bacterial rhizosphere communities associated with the wild beet B. vulgaris...

in drought stress condition, it is important to estimate the n and k requirement of sugar beet. a drought-tolerant sugar beet genotype, bp karaj, was evaluated in split plot factorial design based on a randomized complete block design with four replications at motahari research station, karaj, iran for three years. main plots were allocated to irrigation treatments including normal irrigation (...

in the present experiment, the effects of nitrogen and phosphor fertilizer application in two methods of furrow and trickle irrigation on the yield and quality of sugar beet seed cultivar 7233 were studied. the experiment was conducted as a split factorial in a completely randomized block design with three replications during 2003 and 2004 in hamedan province. main plots were allocated to irrig...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate eight new sugar beet genotypes with different drought tolerance responses to three irrigation schemes (including normal irrigation and early season and continuous stressed) in motahari research station of sugar beet seed institute (sbsi),karaj,iranduring 2005-2006. the study was accomplished in a split plot design (irrigation schemes and genotypes as ma...
