Abstract
Beetroot, table beet, red beet or garden beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris var. conditiva Alefeld) is a cross-pollinated crop that belongs to the family Chenopodiaceae. It is one of the most essential and economical cultivated vegetables. Globally, beetroot is used for food products, pickles, salads and juice rather than for sugar production. Also, edible sugar can be extracted from the root. Gene banks have conserved a wide variety of genetic resources from beetroot including wild species. There are several species with various chromosome numbers. Beta harbors significant diversity based on geographic regions and morphological features. Introgression of novel alleles by crossing different genetic resources for the beetroot e.g. crossing common varieties with locally developed varieties increases genetic diversity and pre-selects for useful traits. It is necessary to ensure ample natural variation in phenotypes. The key goals of breeders and geneticists are to improve beetroot for different desirable traits including tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress, quality and yield characteristics. Applying modern genetic tools to improve conventional breeding programs can further the achievement of these goals. This chapter provides an overview and limitations of the beetroot germplasm biodiversity and conservation, objectives and stages of beetroot breeding programs and conventional breeding methods. Additionally, it addresses modern methods of plant breeding, including marker-assisted breeding and genetic engineering.
