Abstract
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris L.) is mainly grown in temperate countries of the Northern Hemisphere and supplies around 20% of the world sugar consumption. Cultivated in the past as a vegetable or fodder crop, selection of sugar beet began at the end of 1700s. The first objective was to improve sugar content in the taproot and a number of traits required for successful industrial processing. The most important breeding advancements took place during mid 1900s after the discovery of genetic monogermity and cytoplasmic male-sterility. This allowed the production of monogerm hybrid varieties, now employed worldwide. Sugar yield is severely impacted by a wide range of pests, diseases and abiotic stresses. As a consequence, the discovery and improvement of relevant genetic resistances remain among the main breeding targets. More recently, the development of several linkage maps using molecular markers have advanced the identification of additional resistances to biotic and abiotic stresses. This chapter discusses the timeline of sugar beet breeding in tandem with the technological advancements. Traditional and molecular methods for improvement of disease resistance are discussed, together with the current knowledge of genomic resources. The development of varieties by means of next-generation breeding technology is summarized as well.
