Haploidy in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

  • Chapter
In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 25))

Abstract

The cultivated beet is a biennial member of the Chenopodiaceae. It is bred for high yield of extractable sugar (sugar beet) or for high yield of roots with good feed value (fodderbeet). At the end of the first growing season, the thickened fleshy roots can be harvested and utilized. In the second year, after cold treatment (vernalization) in the field or in cold storage, the compressed stem will elongate into a 1–2 m tall inflorescense with numerous small petalless flowers in an open panicle.
