“…The root of sugar beet is an important source of natural sucrose as a sweetening agent (Mall et al, 2022b) and has diverse industrial applications (Misra et al, 2018). Sugar beet production faces major threats from biotic and abiotic stresses (Mulet, 2022). For instance, common viral (beet necrotic yellow vein virus, BNYVV (Ramchandran et al, 2021), bacterial (like Pseudomonas aptata), and fungal diseases (like Cercospora (Misra et al, 2022c); Alternaria (Misra et al, 2020a), as well as nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita), and insects (like Aphis fabae (Mulet, 2022), Spodoptera litura (Santeshwari et al, 2020;Baitha et al, 2022)) hampers the production and productivity of the crop.…”

Salinity, drought, heat (high temperatures), and cold are some of the abiotic stresses that severely impact sugar beet production all over the world (Misra et al, 2020b) (Table 2).…”

Sugar beet is a crop with high sucrose content, known for sugar production and recently being considered as an emerging raw material for bioethanol production. This crop is also utilized as cattle feed, mainly when animal green fodder is scarce. Bioethanol and hydrogen gas production from this crop is an essential source of clean energy. Environmental stresses (abiotic/biotic) severely affect the productivity of this crop. Over the past few decades, the molecular mechanisms of biotic and abiotic stress responses in sugar beet have been investigated using next-generation sequencing, gene editing/silencing, and over-expression approaches. This information can be efficiently utilized through CRISPR/Cas 9 technology to mitigate the effects of abiotic and biotic stresses in sugar beet cultivation. This review highlights the potential use of CRISPR/Cas 9 technology for abiotic and biotic stress management in sugar beet. Beet genes known to be involved in response to alkaline, cold, and heavy metal stresses can be precisely modified via CRISPR/Cas 9 technology for enhancing sugar beet’s resilience to abiotic stresses with minimal off-target effects. Similarly, CRISPR/Cas 9 technology can help generate insect-resistant sugar beet varieties by targeting susceptibility-related genes, whereas incorporating Cry1Ab and Cry1C genes may provide defense against lepidopteron insects. Overall, CRISPR/Cas 9 technology may help enhance sugar beet’s adaptability to challenging environments, ensuring sustainable, high-yield production.

“…Additionally, a 1% increase in bolters results in a 0.05% decrease in sugar content, which can sometimes lead to a loss of up to 20% in sugar [19][20][21]. In addition, bolting is relevant for the USA as well as tropical and subtropical countries [22][23][24]. In Japan, transplant cultivation is widely practiced, exposing young plants to low temperatures, which can induce flowering [25].…”

Sugar beet is an important root crop with a biennial life cycle. In the first year of its life cycle, it produces huge amounts of leaf and root mass used for the production of sugar and bioethanol, livestock feed, confectionery and pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, and soil restoration. Normally, after exposure to cold temperatures during winter storage, in the second year of its life cycle, it enters its reproductive phase. However, during the first year of growth, sugar beet plants may be susceptible to producing flowering shoots, or “bolting”, due to vernalization and long-day conditions. Bolting reduces both the yield and the sugar content of roots. Here, we review the published research works that study the environmental factors influencing bolting, the genetic (including epigenetic) and physiological mechanisms that regulate the transition to the reproductive phase, and the agrotechnical and breeding practices used to prevent bolting. Models of gene networks that regulate the transition to flowering are presented. Methods for selecting non-bolting plants using conventional, marker-assisted, and genomic breeding are demonstrated. Attention is also paid to the speed breeding technology that stimulates bolting and flowering sugar beet plants in an artificial climate. Growing sugar beet plants “from seed to seed” can potentially accelerate the breeding and seed production of sugar beet. This review compares different conditions for inducing bolting in sugar beet in climatic chambers and greenhouses. It examines parameters such as temperature, duration of light exposure, and light intensity during the pre-vernalization, post-vernalization, and vernalization periods. The present review may be useful for specialists in sugar beet cultivation, breeders working on developing cultivars and hybrids that are resistant to bolting, and molecular biologists studying the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the transition of plants into the flowering stage.
