| ensiled sugar beets as dietary component and their effect on preference and dry matter intake by goats. | this study examines the influence of ensiled sugar beets (beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) on preference and short-time dry matter (dm) intake of goats. whole sugar beets were ensiled either without any silage additive (sugar beet silage (sbs)) or with a chemical additive (6 l/t) containing 85% formic and propionic acids (treated sugar beet silage (tbs)) and were chopped after ensiling. the influence of different proportions of sbs (0%, 6.25%, 12.5%, 18.75% and 25% of dietary dm) and tbs (0%, 5%, 10 ... | 2017 | 28541752 |
| tonoplast (bvtip1;2) and plasma membrane (bvpip2;1) aquaporins show different mechanosensitive properties. | previous works proposed that aquaporins behave as mechanosensitive channels. however, principal issues about mechanosensitivity of aquaporins are not known. in this work, we characterized the mechanosensitive properties of the water channels bvtip1;2 (tip1) and bvpip2;1 (pip2) from red beet (beta vulgaris). we simultaneously measured the mechanical behavior and the water transport rates during the osmotic response of emptied-out oocytes expressing tip1 or pip2. our results indicate that tip1 is ... | 2017 | 28486763 |
| deciphering the complex nature of bolting time regulation in beta vulgaris. | only few genetic loci are sufficient to increase the variation of bolting time in beta vulgaris dramatically, regarding vernalization requirement, seasonal bolting time and reproduction type. beta species show a wide variation of bolting time regarding the year of first reproduction, seasonal bolting time and the number of reproduction cycles. to elucidate the genetics of bolting time control, we used three f3 mapping populations that were produced by crossing a semelparous, annual sugar beet wi ... | 2017 | 28478574 |

| the role of auxin-ethylene crosstalk in orchestrating primary root elongation in sugar beet. | it is well-established in arabidopsis and other species that ethylene inhibits root elongation through the action of auxin. in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) ethylene promotes root elongation in a concentration dependent manner. however, the crosstalk between ethylene and auxin remains unknown during sugar beet seedling development. our experiments have shown that exogenously applied auxin (indole-3-acetic acid; iaa) also stimulates root elongation. we also show that auxin promotes ethylene biosy ... | 2017 | 28424722 |
| aggregation behavior and a putative aggregation pheromone in sugar beet root maggot flies (diptera: ulidiidae). | male-biased aggregations of sugar beet root maggot, tetanops myopaeformis (röder) (diptera: ulidiidae), flies were observed on utility poles near sugar beet (beta vulgaris l. [chenopodiaceae]) fields in southern idaho; this contrasts with the approximately equal sex ratio typically observed within fields. peak observation of mating pairs coincided with peak diurnal abundance of flies. volatiles released by individual male and female flies were sampled from 08:00 to 24:00 hours in the laboratory ... | 2017 | 28423428 |

| transcriptomic profiling of taproot growth and sucrose accumulation in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) at different developmental stages. | in sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.), taproot weight and sucrose content are the important determinants of yield and quality. however, high yield and low sucrose content are two tightly bound agronomic traits. the advances in next-generation sequencing technology and the publication of sugar beet genome have provided a method for the study of molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of these two agronomic traits. in this work, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses in the high taproot ... | 2017 | 28406933 |
| starch-based bio-elastomers functionalized with red beetroot natural antioxidant. | red beetroot (rb) powder was incorporated into starch-based bio-elastomers to obtain flexible biocomposites with tunable antioxidant properties. starch granules within the bio-elastomers affected the release of the antioxidant molecule betanin in the rb powder. the bio-elastomers were hydrophobic and resisted dissolution in water, hence the release of betanin was due to diffusion rather than polymer matrix disintegration. hydrophobicity was maintained even after water immersion. released betanin ... | 2017 | 27596427 |
