In this study, 49 diverse breeding lines were evaluated for root yield, sugar content, sugar yield, and white sugar yield, with adequate water and under two levels of drought stress at Karadj and Mashhad in 1996, 1997, and 1998. All lines were not evaluated each year; however, some lines were grown in all environments. Water stress was initiated at about the six-leaf stage. In Karadj, the stress was continuous throughout the growing season. In Mashhad, the stress period was limited to 50 days. The five indexes used to identify high-yielding genotypes in both the stressed and non-stressed environments were: stress susceptibility index (SSI), stress tolerance (TOL), stress tolerance index (STI), yield stability index (YSI), and mean productivity (MP). Root yield and sugar yield exhibited large differential genotypic responses to drought stress. Some high yielding genotypes were productive in stress and non-stress environments. Stress applied either for a limited period (Mashhad) or throughout the growing season (Karadj) gave similar results, with effects of the long-term stress being more pronounced. Under severe drought stress, root yield, sugar yield, and white sugar yield decreased to 59%, 59%, and 60%, respectively, of the values obtained with adequate water; whereas, sugar content increased 6%. Root yield, sugar yield, white sugar yield, and sugar content decreased under drought condition at Mashhad to 72%, 67%, 64%, and 95% of the well-watered sugarbeet, respectively. The stress tolerance index (STI) effectively distinguished genotypes with high yield in both stressed and non-stressed environments. Selection based primarily on root yield in diverse environments is suggested as a breeding strategy for developing productive sugarbeet genotypes with broad adaptation.","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"24 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113974776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hybridization between sugarbeet and wild annual forms of sea beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima) in the French sugarbeet seed production area is a major source of weed beet in northwestern Europe. In the other principal seed production area, the Italian Po-Valley, inland wild beet is absent but local annual weed beet plants grow near sugarbeet seed production fields, suggesting an important role for this primary' weed beet in seed contamination. Because both coastal sea beet and primary weed beet forms could be sources for seed contamination and distribution of secondary' weed beet into German sugarbeet production areas, morphological and genetic traits of German and Italian weed beet were compared. Frequency of multigerm plants, frequency of annuals, hypocotyl color, and genetic relationships revealed by RAPD-PCR were examined. Results of the research indicate that: 1. German weed beet had some similarity to sugarbeet, but the weed beet clearly had a hybrid ancestry that included annual wild beet of unknown origin. 2. Italian weed beet had some similarity to sugarbeet, but the weed beet clearly had a hybrid ancestry that included annual sea beet. 3. German weed beet usually grows far away from coastal sea beet. The annual weed beet must have arrived as a contaminant of sugarbeet seed, and therefore is of secondary' origin. 4. Italian weed beet biotypes were hybrids, but they could be 'primary', as the result of hybrid seed produced in seed production fields or in wild coastal populations, or they could be 'secondary' as contaminants of sugarbeet seed sold to Italian farmers. These results supported the hypothesis, that primary weed beet in Italy is likely to be responsible for the production of secondary weed beet, which is sold as contaminants to farmers in Italy and Germany. Therefore, contamination avoidance strategies in seed production areas should concentrate both on the control of weedy primary-type beet as well as isolation from wild sea beet.

To test the possibility that methanol application might improve sugarbeet yield, we conducted a replicated field study at Fort Collins, Colorado in 1994 with two commercial sugarbeet varieties (Monohikari, Beta 2398) and one public breeding line (FC709-2). Methanol was foliarly applied at about ten day intervals throughout the growing season starting at 40 dap. Plants were treated with 50% methanol plus 0.1% Triton-X surfactant, or 50% methanol plus 0.1% Triton-X plus 0.2% monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a nitrogen source. Control plants received no spray treatment. Two regimes of irrigation were included, one that provided water at a level typical of commercial growing practice and one in which about 50% as much water was applied on the same schedule, intentionally causing chronic water stress. Photosynthetic gas exchange was determined on August 26 and September 8 at mid-day on a subset of plots. Root yield and percentage root sucrose were determined at harvest, and sucrose yield was calculated from those values. The summer was warm and dry in 1994 and even plants in the higher irrigation regime were water-stressed (i.e., wilted at mid-day), and no significant differences in root yield, percent root sucrose, or sucrose yield occurred due to irrigation treatment. Significant differences for each of the three parameters occurred among varieties and for methanol treatments. Both methanol treatments resulted in significantly lower root weight and sucrose yield than the control, and methanol plus MSG application resulted in significantly lower root weight and sucrose yield than application of only methanol. Percentage sucrose was statistically similar in control and methanol treatments, but treatment with methanol plus MSG resulted in lower percentage sucrose. Photosynthesis was increased in methanol treated plots, but this result was not consistent. If methanol treatment resulted in higher photosynthesis in the short term, this may have resulted in greater above-ground growth at the expense of root growth and root sucrose storage, which could account for the observed lower root and sucrose yield in the treated plots. If early-season methanol application timing and concentration could be adjusted to stimulate early canopy formation, so that maximal light interception could be achieved earlier in the season, this might lead to increased sucrose yield at harvest.","PeriodicalId":403165,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sugarbeet Research","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117119299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
