Sugarbeet is a major source of refined sucrose and increasingly grown for biofuel production. Demand for higher productivity for this crop requires greater knowledge of sugarbeet physiology, pathology, and genetics, which can be advanced by the development of new genomic resources. Towards this end, a sugarbeet transcriptome of expressed genes from leaf and root tissues at varying stages of development and production, and after elicitation with jasmonic acid (JA) or salicylic acid (SA), was constructed and used to generate simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The transcriptome was generated via paired-end RNA sequencing and contains 82,404 unigenes. A total of 37,207 unigenes were annotated, of which 9480 were functionally classified using clusters of orthologous groups (COG) annotations, 17,191 were classified into biological process, molecular function, or cellular component using gene ontology (GO) terms, and 17,409 were assigned to 126 metabolic pathways using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) identifiers. A SSR search of the transcriptome identified 7680 SSRs, including 6577 perfect SSRs, of which 3834 were located in unigenes with ungapped sequence. Primer-pairs were designed for 288 SSR loci, and 72 of these primer-pairs were tested for their ability to detect polymorphisms. Forty-three primer-pairs detected single polymorphic loci and effectively distinguished diversity among eight B. vulgaris genotypes. The transcriptome and SSR markers provide additional, public domain genomic resources for an important crop plant and can be used to increase understanding of the functional elements of the sugarbeet genome, aid in discovery of novel genes, facilitate RNA-sequencing based expression research, and provide new tools for sugarbeet genetic research and selective breeding. Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an herbaceous dicotyledon and member of the Amaranthaceae family. Grown primarily for the production of refined sucrose, sugarbeet provides approximately 22% of the world's sugar (Südzucker, 2013). It is also the source of two highenergy animal feeds (beet molasses and beet pulp), and is increasingly grown for biofuel production (Harland et al., 2006;Panella, 2010). Sugarbeet is grown in 42 countries on five continents, with Europe and North America producing more than 60% of the crop. Other economically important members of the species include table beet, chard, and fodder beet. Sugarbeet production is challenged by an array of abiotic and biotic stresses that reduce biomass and sucrose content. Insufficient water, excessively hot or cold temperatures, and saline soils prevent the crop from reaching its full genetic potential and can reduce yield by as much as 50% (Boyer, 1982;Ober and Rajabi, 2010). Insects, including the sugarbeet root maggot (Tetanops myopaeformis von Röder) and root aphid (Pemphigus betae Doane),

“…Elicitation can be promoted by a variety of compounds that are externally applied, allowing the mentioned physiological and phytochemical benefits. A widely used compound is salicylic acid (SA), called by some authors signaling molecule [ 9 ], since it has been shown to improve performance [ 10 ], prolonging the useful life in fruits [ 11 ] and increasing the biosynthesis of phytochemicals [ 12 ].…”

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) on the yield and phytochemical content in hydroponically grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). (1) Background: The importance of Mexico’s cucumber production is based on its cultivation in recent decades as one of the major winter crops; in addition, the production of vegetables under hydroponic systems has increased significantly during the last few years, with cucumber being one of the vegetables with a high economic potential. (2) Methods: A completely randomized experimental design with 15 repetitions was used. SA at five doses (0.075, 0.1, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.5 mM) and one control (distilled water) was sprinkled weekly on cucumber plants. The evaluated variables were yield (total fruit weight per plant), fruit parameters (length, size and firmness), and nutraceutical quality of cucumber. (3) Results: Low concentrations of SA improve the yield and high concentrations decrease it, but the nutraceutical quality of fruits is improved, as compared to the control treatment. (4) Conclusions: In order to obtain a higher content of bioactive compounds without affecting the yield and commercial quality of cucumber fruits, it is advisable to use the average concentration (0.15 mM) of SA.
