Topic: Beta vulgaris


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Stephen Nottingham: Beetroot - Chapter 3
The cultivated forms of Beta vulgaris are leaf beets (spinach beet and chard), beetroot (table beet or garden beet), fodder beet and sugar beet.
Beta patellaris (referred to as Beta campanulata by Vilmorin in 1923) is found in patches (up to 1.5 m diameter) in coastal and low-lying dry rock areas throughout the Canary Islands, and also in south-east Spain, near Almeria, and some coastal areas of Morocco.
Beta taxonomists, however, have suggested that it would be better, and less confusing, if all infraspecific classification for cultivated Beta vulgaris were done using the non-hierarchical horticultural classification system.

 Stephen Nottingham: Beetroot - Chapter 1
Beta vulgaris was first domesticated for its leaves and leaf stems (petioles).
The cultivation of Beta vulgaris is described in Chapter Four, with an emphasis on beetroot in gardens and allotments.
Beta vulgaris has been considered a medicinal plant since ancient times, while the seventeenth-century herbalists ascribed many beneficial effects to its leaves and roots.

 Beet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The beet (Beta vulgaris) is a flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, native to the coasts of western and southern Europe, from southern Sweden and the British Isles south to the Mediterranean Sea.
vulgaris are edible and an important food crop.
Beets are used as a food plant by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species — see List of Lepidoptera which feed on Beet.

Sucrose content was weakly associated with sucrose synthase activity and was unassociated with alkaline or acid invertase activities, suggesting that other factors are involved in the regulation of root sucrose concentration.
Technical Abstract: The functions of the major sucrolytic enzymes in sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) roots are poorly understood, although a positive association between sucrose synthase activity and root size, and a negative association between soluble acid invertase activity and sucrose concentration have been documented.
Although no new insights into the functions of acid and alkaline invertases were gained, these results indicate that sucrose synthase activity is a reliable indicator of root yield and may be a factor in root sink strength and the promotion of cell wall biosynthesis.

Interpretive Summary: Disease and pest problems are responsible for decreases in production of sugar from sugar beet, an economically important crop that provides more than 35% of the world's sugar supply.
Technical Abstract: Leaves of greenhouse-grown sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants that were first screened for high regeneration potential were transformed via particle bombardment with the uidA gene fused to the osmotin or proteinase inhibitor II gene promoter.
The main advantages of direct bombardment of leaves to regenerate transformed sugar beet include 1) an abundant source of target tissues, 2) minimal tissue culture manipulation, and 3) the overall rapid regeneration of transgenic shoots.
