A biennial sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) generally takes two years to flower and complete its life cycle. In year one, the plant grows vegetatively then enters a cold winter period. two, reproductively initiates flowering under long-day conditions. Among beets that grow in outdoor field conditions, test strains were preliminarily found early 24-h daylength conditions without being exposed temperat...

Conversion of Glucose to Ethanol In the U.S., corn is the predominant source of starch (glucose) used to produce ethanol. With the exception of sugar cane, corn provides the highest ethanol yields compared to any other feedstock being used (Table 2). However, research is underway to develop methods to convert carbohydrates from cellulosic feedstocks such as softwood (Arwa et al., 2005), non-sta...

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...
