	Origin and diversity of Baltic sea beet populations
		The origin of sea beet populations of the Baltic Sea coast of Germany was investigated by collecting seed samples and performing comparative RAPD-PCR analyses.
		The genetic analysis shows a close relationship of German sea beets to Danish sea beet populations, which suggests that the beets of the German Baltic sea coasts are pure wild beets (1) but not weed beets (2) or hybrids (3).
		The examination of German Baltic sea beet populations is of particular concern for competent authorities for the regulation of transgenic organisms (GMO) due to the close proximity of wild beet to sugar beet fields.

		The team found that the weedy hybrids, which produce more seeds that the commercial sugar beets, had somehow migrated 1500 metres from the fields and were mingling with wild sea beet.
		Arnaud thinks that soil transported from beet growing areas to assist with dyke reconstruction might have carried the seeds, or that seeds might have been dropped in dirt from lorries transporting harvested beet to factories.
		He says that the environmental impact on the wild sea beet would therefore depend on whether the gene significantly alters the behaviour or ecology of that plant.

	ACRE - Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment
		The authors quantified the current weed beet population in fields in the sugar producing region in the north of France and examined the extent that gene flow is possible between cultivated beet, weed beet and any wild (ruderal) beet present in this area.
		The potential for this particular allele to transfer from wild beet populations to cultivated varieties was studied rather than the transfer of transgenes from sugar beet plants to wild relatives.
		The trait is unlikely to confer a fitness advantage to sea beet (which is perennial and confined to coastal habitats where herbicides are not applied) but, if transferred to annual weed beets, would compromise the use of that particular herbicide in weed control.

	SUGAR BEET CROP GROWING AND HARVESTING
		The sugar beet is directly related to the beetroot, chard and fodder beet all descended by cultivation from the Sea Beet.
		The sugar beet harvester chops the leaf and crown (which is high in non-sugar impurities) from the root, lifts the root, and removes excess soil from the root in a single pass over the field.
		The harvest and processing of the beet is referred to as "the campaign," reflecting the organization required to deliver crop at a steady rate to processing factories that run 24 hours a day for the duration of the harvest and processing (for the UK the campaign lasts approx 5 months).

		Sugar is extracted from the roots (tubers) of sugar beet and fodder beet is fed to animals.
		Sugar beet is farmed more intensively than fodder beet and by including both varieties in the farm scale trials, it is hoped that a range of farming practices can be investigated.
		Because the beet has been modified to tolerate Roundup, farmers will be able to spray their crop with the herbicide, killing all the weeds but not harming the crop.

		The team found that the weedy hybrids, which produce more seeds that the commercial sugar beets, had somehow migrated 1500 metres from the fields and were mingling with wild sea beet.
		Furthermore, farmers growing GM sugar beet might need to dig up the weedy hybrids in their fields to stop them producing seeds that could then be dispersed.
		He says that the environmental impact on the wild sea beet would therefore depend on whether the gene significantly alters the behaviour or ecology of that plant.

		The sea beet is a plant native to the Canary and Madeira Islands, the Atlantic and Mediterranean coastline of Europe and along the Black Sea in Russia.
		The bulb of the beet consists of three parts: the head, from which the leaves grow, the neck that is the interconnection between the head and the root.
		In the United States experiments in beet sugar manufacture were not extensively made until 1890 when the Department of Agriculture sent 5,000 packages of beet seed to different parts of the country for the purpose of experimenting in different localities.
