Genotypic correlations and QTL correspondence between line per se and testcross performance in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) for the three agronomic traits beet yield, potassium content, and sodium content

Novel QTL associated with Rhizoctonia solani Kühn resistance identified in two table beet × sugar beet F2:3 populations using a new table beet reference genome

“…An important technique that has improved the efficiency of selection in numerous crops is marker-assisted selection (MAS). Numerous studies have identified markers associated with traits in sugar beet including root elongation and glucose and fructose content (Stevanato et al, 2010), sucrose content and quality (Schneider et al, 2002), cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) (Hjerdin-Panagopoulos et al, 2002;Honma et al, 2014;Moritani et al, 2013), post-winter bolting resistance (Pfeiffer et al, 2014), yield (Schwegler et al, 2014), and resistances to beet diseases including: Rhizomania (Beet Necrotic Yellow Vein Virus; BNYVV) (Barzen et al, 1997;Gidner et al, 2005;Grimmer et al, 2007a;Lein et al, 2007;Scholten et al, 1999), beet yellows virus (BYV) (Grimmer et al, 2008), powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni DC.) (Grimmer et al, 2007b;Janssen et al, 2003), Aphanomyces root rot (Aphanomyces cochlioides Drechsler) (Taguchi et al, 2009(Taguchi et al, , 2010, root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.)…”
