“…In sugar beet, metabolic pathways that are expected to be relevant to both sugar quality and yield, and are localized in the chloroplast, include those for photosynthesis, metabolism of transient starch and the generation of assimilates for export (Elliott and Weston 1993). In the cytosol, catabolism of assimilates via glycolysis, together with the reactions that make up the citrate cycle, and the enzymes of sucrose synthesis, are important.…”

Seventy five expressed sequence tags (ESTs) that are associated with functions in carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism were genotyped in 108 plants of an F2 population of sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L.) segregating for sugar quality and yield parameters. Supplemented by known RFLP and AFLP markers, the resulting map spans 446 cM of the 758-Mbp genome of sugar beet. F3 test-cross plants were analysed for corrected sugar yield, beet yield, ion balance and the content of sugar, amino nitrogen, potassium and sodium in six locations. Twenty one significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were detected using the composite interval mapping approach. Expressed genes flanking the QTLs were identified in all cases. Correlations between QTLs and potential candidate genes are discussed.

“…Hoffmann (2010) reported that most of cambium rings in sugar beet root began to form 10 weeks after sowing and that on the average two more cambial rings were formed by the end of vegetation. Elliott and Weston (1993) suggested that the formation of the cambial rings intense six weeks after emergence of sugar beet, and when the plant has 12-13 leaves, root diameter varied from 1 to 1.5 cm with six cambium rings. …”

“…Stanaćev (1979) reported that there is a positive correlation between sugar content and the number of cambium rings. Elliott and Weston (1993) point out that about 75% of sucrose is stored in the space between 1 and 6 ring. According to Hoffmann and Kluge-Severin (2011) beet root, which has more cambium rings with smaller distance between the rings, has higher sugar content in the roots.…”

“…The primary cambium develops two weeks after emergence, while the first two secondary cambia were formed during the third week of plant age (Elliott and Weston, 1993). Formation of cambium rings is induced by leaves growth, where each cambium ring is connected with a certain number of leaves (Stieber and Beringer, 1984).…”

“…Artschwager (1930) points out that the number of cambium rings is related to genes and hereditary characteristic and it varied from 8 to 11 (analysis of 13 genotypes). According to Elliott and Weston (1993) the maximum number of sugar beet root cambium rings is from 12 to 15, while Pospišil (2013) states that at the harvest time root has from 8 to 12 cambium rings. Stanaćev (1979) reported that there is a positive correlation between sugar content and the number of cambium rings.…”

Original scientific paper Izvorni znanstveni članak SUMMARYThe aim of this study was to analyse sugar beet growth in field conditions during 2014 growing season. Sugar beet (hybrid Serenade, KWS) was sown on March 18 th at inter-row spacing of 50 cm and four different intra-row spacings: 13 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm and 19 cm. During the growing season sugar beet plants samples were taken in eight terms from June to September. In each sampling term sugar beet leaf and root fresh weight (g/plant) were determined. Also, diameter, number and distance between cambium rings and the number of cambium rings of 1 cm diameter were determined at the cross section of the widest hypocotyl part. Sowing density had a significant effect (P≤0.05) on all observed parameters. Average fresh leaf weight for all densities of 717.84 g/plant was the highest in late July and early August. Generally, during the growing season the plants sown at wider intra-row spacings (17 and 19 cm) had on average higher root weight compared to average root weight in narrower intra-row spacings (13 and 15 cm). Average root diameter of all sowing densities increases from 4.13 cm in the first decade of June to 12.51 cm in the second decade of September wherein the diameter varied from 11.55 cm (intra-row spacing 13 cm) to 14.79 cm (intra-row spacing 19 cm). Intensive formation of cambium rings for all densities was found out in June, where at the beginning of the June, the average number of cambium rings was 4.9, while and at the end of it was 7.3. In September, sugar beet root had on average of 8.4 cambium rings. On July 30 th the largest number of cambium rings at 1 cm root diameter was on the average 1.52.
