Somaclonal Variation in Sugarbeet

  • Chapter
Somaclonal Variation in Crop Improvement I

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 11))

Abstract

The sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important world food crop in temperate and subtropical climates. On the international trade market its principle product, sugar, is an extremely important commodity, and it is also a significant industrial crop in some countries. Sugarbeets are cultivated as a warm or cool season crop in Europe, North and South America, northern Africa, and much of Asia where climate permits.
