Abstract
One group of the project activities will be focused on development of new sugar beet lines and hybrids. Beside usual breeding methods, SSRs will be used in analysis of pollinators, to determine how (or if) are their combining abilities related to homozygosity level. The investigation of morpho-anatomical, physiological and molecular markers that might be useful in detecting ability to keep turgor during drought, will be continued. Genotype reactions to water deficit, in the greenhouse and in in vitro conditions, will be also evaluated by testing the expression of candidate genes. The other group of activities will investigate how to improve some aspects of agricultural practice in sugar beet growing. First it will be tested how different types and amounts of mineral and microbiological fertilizers can optimize and reduce growing costs. Second, some major sugar beet leaf (Cercospora beticola) and root (Fusarium sp. and Macrophomina phaseolina) pathogens will be analyzed as well.
