Breeding Methods

  • First Online:
Book cover Rhizomania

Abstract

Different breeding approaches are employed for identifying the traits of rhizomania resistance. The first screenings were made by means of visual evaluation and chemical analyses of individual beets or plot samples grown in rhizomania diseased field. Advanced selections are usually performed in glasshouse, where more uniform inoculum and growing conditions are possible. Traditional systems are still today employed for reproduction of selected beets. Molecular analyses on the resistance loci allow the accurate selection of the plantlets bearing the trait after different kinds of crosses. Until now, all the genetic resistances used in commercial varieties were identified in Beta maritima. The removal of undesirable traits of the wild parent is among the more difficult steps. Toward the end of the breeding process, the improved genotypes are hybridized with CMS seed-bearers after evaluation of their combining ability. The experimental hybrids are sown in multiyear trials under rhizomania attack for the control of the agronomic value before the registration process.
