T HE INTRODUCTION of a miew technic iisto medical science commonly goes through three phases : a period of emithusiasm, a period of rejectiomi ( which sometimes may not be overcome), and a period of reasonable appreciatioms. Electron microscopic cytology has now reached the third state. Enthusiasm has beets justified since resolution power has beets pushed from 3000 A to less thami 30 A ; rejec...

Resistance gene analogs (RGAs) were searched bioinformatically in the sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) genome as potential candidates for improving resistance against different diseases. In the present study, Ion Torrent sequencing technology was used to identify mutations in 21 RGAs. The DNA samples of ninety-six individuals from six sea beets (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. maritima) and six sugar beet...

It is not quite clear at present whether or not polyploidy could be used to increase the productivity of sugar beets (1, 3, 5) . However, triploids which show heterosis have been developed (2, 3) . Polyploidy increases the size of fruits and germs. This property, which counts for little in multigerm beets, can prove very useful in monogerm beets (4) . To gain the advantages of polyploidy, it is...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Monogerm C.S.F. 1971) seeds sown into Vineland fine sandy loam, infested with 15,500 H. schachtii juveniles/pot, showed little growth during an 11-week test in the greenhouse. Seedlings transplanted at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age had 32, 30, and 31% less top weight and 71, 68, and 59% less root weight, respectively, compared to controls grown in nematode-free soil....

Invertase inhibitors have been isolated and partially purified from red beets, sugar beets, and sweet potatoes. These inhibitors are thermolabile proteins with molecular weights of 18,000 to 23,000. They do not inhibit yeast and Neurospora invertases, but they are reactive with potato tuber invertase and other plant invertases with pH optima near 4.5. There are differences in reactivity of the ...
