Development of new quantitative physiological and molecular breeding parameters based on the sugar beet vernalization intensity model.
Chiurugwi, Tinashe; Holmes, Helen F.; Qi, Aiming; Chia, Tansy Y. P.; Hedden, Peter; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia (2013-08)Sugar-beet crops, Beta vulgaris spp. vulgaris (L), suffer from premature bolting and flowering as a consequence of prolonged exposure to cold conditions (vernalization). This reduces crop yield and quality and could be ... -
A new RNASeq-based reference transcriptome for sugar beet and its application in transcriptome-scale analysis of vernalization and gibberellin responses
Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Joshi, Anagha; Holmes, Helen F.; Hedden, Peter; Gottgens, Berthold (2012)Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris sp. vulgaris) crops account for about 30% of world sugar. Sugar yield is compromised by reproductive growth hence crops must remain vegetative until harvest. Prolonged exposure to cold temperature ...
