Outcomes / Key Message For Growers And Industry
Insights into chemical composition, can be used in conjunction with gene expression to identify key markers for phloem abundance which is thought to have a direct effect on sucrose concentration. This will provide tools for developing higher yielding sugar beet by crop management and/or modern breeding approaches.
