The action of three Beet yellows virus resistance QTLs depends on alleles at a novel genetic locus that controls symptom development
(2008-08)
Beet yellows virus (BYV) can dramatically reduce yield from sugar beet crops. A BYV resistant plant from a Beta germplasm accession was crossed with a sugar beet plant to generate the segregating population BYV1. This ...
Cost efficacy in measuring farmland biodiversity : lessons from the Farm Scale Evaluations of GMHT crops
(2008-02)
Measuring farmland biodiversity is time-consuming and costly. Operational data from the Farm Scale Evaluation of genetically modified crops project were collated to identify the financial and time costs of each of the 14 ...
Assessing the impact of future climate changes on the UK sugar beet production
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2008)
The impact of climate change on sugarbeet yield in the UK: 1976-2004
(2007-08)
Since the 1970s, the delivered sugar yield per hectare has risen at an average annual rate of 0 center dot 111 t/ha, while the sugar yield in the official variety trials has increased at an average annual rate of 0 center ...

Modelling the variability of UK sugar beet yields under climate change and husbandry adaptations
(2006-03)
In the future, UK summers are likely to be warmer and drier. Modelling differential water redistribution and uptake, we assessed the impact of future drier climates on sugar beet yields. Weather was generated for 1961-1990 ...
