The respiratory sensitivity to cyanide of disks of sugar-beet,red beet, carrot, swede, and potato maintained at differenttemperatures over a prolonged period has been determined manometrically,and the effects of sodium azide and carbon monoxide examinedon sugar-beet disks. The normally high sensitivity to cyanideof freshly cut disks falls more or less rapidly depending onthe temperature of pretreatment until the oxygen uptake is practicallyunaffected by the inhibitor. Subsequently the sensitivity redevelopsbut a brief period during which cyanide exercises a stimulatoryeffect may be interposed. With beet and carrot disks containingcambial cells there is in the early stages of the lifespan aperiod of increasing sensitivity to cyanide. It is concludedthat there is a characteristic difference in cyanide-sensitivitybetween growing and non-growing tissue. A discussion of underlyingtheory is added. 相似文献

Summary The cation-exchange capacity (C.E.C.) of disks of storage tissue of sugar beet, red beet, potato, carrot, and swede turnip kept in running tap water at constant temperature, has been measured using an acid-washing technique. The pectin content of the disks has been estimated by measuring the CO2 evolved on decarboxylation.There is quantitative agreement between exchange capacity and pectin content of the disks provided the former is measured on a tissue volume basis, and also provided that in assessing the latter, the substances yielding CO2 yet not participating in cation exchange are first removed from the tissues by boiling in water. The C.E.C. and pectin content of the disks increase with time and reach a maximum 3 to 4 days after the disks are cut from the parent tissue. 相似文献

1. When disks of root tissue from sugar or red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) are washed in running aerated tap water the sucrose contained in them disappears and glucose and fructose are formed. 2. Invertase activity in the disks has been measured by a polarimetric method. Freshly cut tissue has a very low activity, but a considerable increase occurs during the first 3–4 days of washing, the final activity being sufficient to hydrolyse the sucrose contained in the disk within a few hours. 3. Disks of red beet have been cut and shaken in water under aseptic conditions. Sucrose breakdown and invertase development still took place. Microbial contamination is therefore not responsible. 4. Trisaccharides that appear in sugar-beet disks during the washing process have been isolated and identified; their formation also suggests that a higher-plant invertase is acting. 5. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to protein synthesis in washed storage-tissue slices, and the occurrence of high invertase activity in growing plant cells. 相似文献

There is present in the water extract of sugar-beet seed ballsan unsaturated yellow oil which is capable of inhibiting germinationof various seeds. It also inhibits salt uptake and the respirationof sugar-beet tissue disks. The activity of the polyphenolaseenzyme present in beet tissue is also depressed. The role ofthe oil in inhibition of sugar-beet germination is discussed. 相似文献

Weed beets are an increasing problem in many sugar-beet crops in many countries. At present about one sugar-beet field in four in England is infested with weed-beet seed. Control in other crops can be achieved using selective herbicides but in sugar beet the weed beets, many of which are of annual habit, are not easily controlled and often compete with the crop. Experiments were done to quantify the yield loss caused by weed beet in sugar-beet crops. Transects were laid out across three fields in 1985 and 1986 and plots located thereon to include the range of weed-beet densities found in the field. Weed beet did not affect the concentration of sugar (sucrose), potassium, sodium, α amino nitrogen or invert sugar in the crop beets. Root and sugar yields were progressively reduced by increasing densities of weed beet. A rectangular hyperbola described the data slightly better than an asymptotic model. There was no indication of a threshold density of weed beet below which there was no yield loss, which averaged 11.7% for each weed beet plant/m2. This corresponds to an average 0.6% sugar yield loss for each 1% of bolted weed beet in the root crop up to 100%, which is similar to the reported losses resulting from bolters in the root crop. 相似文献

Differences in inherited resistance among seven sugar-beet stocks had similar effects on Myzus persicae clones representing the range of variation in aphid response to resistant and susceptible sugar beet observed in fifty-eight clones collected between 1969 and 1971. Three sugar-beet stocks were consistently resistant. Statistically significant interactions between beet stocks and aphid clones did not indicate the existence of biotypes with specific abilities to overcome resistance. M. persicae clones differed in their vigour of colonizing sugar beet, irrespective of the differences between beet stocks. The readiness of adult aphids to settle determined the size of aphid population produced and included a component related to the response of the aphid clone to sugar beet as a host, and a component related to the resistance ranking of the beet stock. Breeding sugar beet with resistance to aphids will be simplified, as the results indicate that, at present, differences between aphid biotypes need not be considered a problem. 相似文献

Microbiological assay of extracts prepared from carrot, potato, turnip and beet storage tissue disks revealed that folate derivatives were synthesized during a 48 hr aeration period in sterile distilled water. The composition of the folate pool in carrot was examined by DEAE—cellulose column chromatography, γ-glutamylcarboxypeptidase treatment and differential assay of individual derivatives using Lactobacillus casei and Streptococcus faecalis. The principal folates were polyglutamates of formyl and methyl tetrahydrofolate. Smaller quantities of the corresponding mono- and di-glutamates were also detected. The latter derivatives occurred in pools having a high degree of metabolic turnover. The specific activities of three enzymes catalyzing production of these derivatives from tetrahydrofolate increased during the first 12 hr of aeration. Amino acid analyses revealed that folate synthesis in carrot disks was accompanied by depletion of free serine and by net synthesis of free and protein methionine. 相似文献

Changes in the pectin (uronic acid) content are reported fordisks of carrot, swede turnip, sugar-beet, red beet, and potatomaintained in aerated, running tap water at three temperaturesfor periods of up to 20 days. Under certain conditions, synthesisof uronic acids, as estimated by a micro-decarboxylation method,occurs and there are changes in the relative amounts of water-solubleand water-insoluble constituents of the tissues. The increasesin water-insoluble material and the periods when the maximumchanges occur are discussed in relation to the correspondingchanges in dry weights of the tissues. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to determine the settling behavior, survival, and reproduction of the beet leafhopper, Circulifer tenellus (Baker), when maintained on selected host plants. This leafhopper was recently identified in the Columbia Basin of Washington and Oregon as the probable vector of the beet leafhopper-transmitted virescence agent phytoplasma, causal agent of several vegetable crop diseases, including potato purple top. Plants selected for study were sugar beet, Beta vulgaris L.; radish, Raphanus sativus L.; dry bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L.; potato, Solanum tuberosum L.; carrot, Daucus carota L.; and tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. Leafhopper adults were confined on caged plants, and settling behavior was observed during a 72-h period and survival was monitored for 40 d. Also, oviposition and nymphal production were investigated by maintaining leafhoppers for approximately 90 d on each of the selected plants. Sixty to 100% of leafhoppers settled on all studied plants during the first 5 h, but settling on bean and tomato declined sharply thereafter. Leafhopper mortality was very high on bean and tomato, with 95 and 65% of the leafhoppers, respectively, dying in about a week. In contrast, 77, 90, and 95% of leafhoppers maintained on potato, sugar beet, and radish, respectively, survived until the end of the 40-d experimental period. Beet leafhopper oviposition and nymphal production and development only occurred on sugar beet, radish, and potato; reproduction was lower on potato. 相似文献

An Improved CARV Process for Bioethanol Production from a Mixture of Sugar Beet Mash and Potato Mash
《Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry》2013,77(3):602-604
A mixed mash of sugar beet roots and potato tubers with a sugar concentration of 23.7% w/v was used as a feedstock for bioethanol production. Enzymatic digestion successfully reduced the viscosity of the mixture, enabling subsequent heat pretreatment for liquefaction/sterilization. An energy-consuming thick juice preparation from sugar beet for concentration and sterilization was omitted in this new process. 相似文献

Invertase inhibitors have been isolated and partially purified from red beets, sugar beets, and sweet potatoes. These inhibitors are thermolabile proteins with molecular weights of 18,000 to 23,000. They do not inhibit yeast and Neurospora invertases, but they are reactive with potato tuber invertase and other plant invertases with pH optima near 4.5. There are differences in reactivity of the inhibitors with some of the plant invertases, however. For most invertases, red beet and sugar beet inhibitors are most effective at pH 4.5 while sweet potato inhibitor is most effective at pH 5. 相似文献

This paper presents an in vitro test to screen the pathogenicity of different Rhizoctonia solani isolates on a host range. The level of aggressivity of the different isolates was different for several host plants tested. There were significant differences between the crops and the isolates tested. In general, the disease level was higher on beans, lettuce and cabbage. In carrot and rye grass the level of infection was lower for the isolates of R. solani tested. The potato isolates of R. solani were less aggressive than the isolates coming from maize, fodder beet and sugar beet. The R. solani isolates were also biochemically characterized by pectic zymograms: the isolates Rs0401 (from maize) and Rs0504 (from sugar beet) belong both to the anastomosis group AG2-2. 相似文献

Respiration Modelling and Hypothesis Testing with a Dynamic Model of Sugar Beet Growth 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Respiration was predicted quantitatively during sugar-beet growthsimulations by assuming an intimate coupling to growth and maintenanceprocesses. Changes in the growth and maintenance respiratorycoefficients for successive simulations expressed alternativehypotheses regarding the nature of that coupling. Large differencesin yield, partitioning patterns, and the relative importanceof the growth and maintenance components were predicted in responseto changes in respiratory coefficients within the range consideredphysiologically realistic.

SUGAR-BEET YELLOWS: FURTHER STUDIES ON VIRUSES AND VIRUS STRAINS AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION IN EAST ANGLIA, 1958-59 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Experiments have shown that, as in the years 1955-57, two yellowing viruses, beet yellows virus (SBYV) and sugar-beet mild yellowing virus (SBMYV), were present in commercial sugar-beet crops in East Anglia in 1958 and 1959. The evidence that they are not closely related viruses has been confirmed. In both years the prevalence of the two viruses was estimated by aphid transmissions from yellowed sugar-beet leaves to healthy sugar beet and Chenopodium capitatum seedlings in the glasshouse, and in 1959 additionally by examination of symptoms on field plants. SBMYV was more common than SBYV over the whole region in 1958, but in 1959 SBYV was slightly more prevalent than SBMYV. In both years SBYV was found more often in the southern than in the northern parts of the region. The results described in this paper suggest that breeding for tolerance to SBMYV may be at least as important economically in East Anglia as breeding for tolerance to SBYV. A wide range of SBYV strains was present in East Anglia in 1959, most of the strains being those which caused severe symptoms in sugar beet and C. capitatum. 相似文献

The germination of conidia of Peronospora farinosa f. sp. betae, collected from sugar beet and suspended in deionized water, was inhibited by dilution with 10% solutions of glycerol, glucose or sucrose and with sap from sugar-beet leaves. Germination was stimulated by diluting with deionized water but not with tap water or biological saline. Substances that diffused from excised buds of sugar-beet plants into deionized water also stimulated germination of conidia but diffusates from leaves did not. This may partly explain why buds are more susceptible to downy mildew than leaves in sugar beet. Germination of conidia was apparently stimulated more by diffusates from buds of seedlings than by those from buds of older plants; this may help to explain why sugar-beet seedlings are more susceptible to downy mildew than older plants. Diffusates from plants of four sugar-beet stocks, that differed from each other in susceptibility to downy mildew, had very similar effects on germination of P. farinosa conidia. Stimulation of spore germination on the surfaces of buds and leaves did not seem, therefore, to be an important factor in determining resistance or susceptibility to downy mildew in these stocks. 相似文献

The effects of yellowing viruses on yield of sugar beet in field trials, 1985 and 1987 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The separate effects of beet yellows virus (BYV) and beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) on yield of sugar-beet cultivars inoculated at different growth stages were assessed in field trials in 1985 and 1987. Early or mid-season inoculation decreased sugar yield by up to 47% for BYV, and up to 29% for BMYV. Infections after the end of July had no significant effect on yield. Both viruses caused significant increases in the juice impurities sodium, potassium and amino-nitrogen after infecting plants early in the season. Yield losses associated with infection were determined by the causative virus, the time of infection, and susceptibility of the sugar-beet cultivars. 相似文献

The relationship between shoot and storage root weights of carrot,parsnip, radish and red beet was examined using plants of differentsize and age. For both carrot and parsnip plants of the sameage there was a linear relationship between the logarithms ofshoot and storage root d. wts which was unaffected by plantdensity. For parsnip the parameters of the regression were unchangedby harvest time, while for carrot the slope of the regressionremained constant and the intercept progressively declined withharvest time. These observations are consistent with an hypothesisof assimilate partition based on competition between sinks.For both radish and red beet at very high densities the logarithmicrelationship between shoot and storage root weight was curvilinearwith significant effects of both harvest time and density. Itis suggested that interplant competition may affect the initiationof storage tissue development in both these species. It is concludedthat for radish and red beet, even when considering only plantsproducing normal swollen storage roots, partition of assimilateis affected by factors not incorporated into the above hypothesis.

Fusicoccin-like ligands in higher plants were sought by combining high performance liquid chromatography with radioreceptor
analysis and radioimmunoassay. Such substances were found in genetically transformed cultured roots of horseradish, alteus
and lupine as well as in native horseradish, cucumber, horse chestnut, and maize plants. In root crops such as carrot and
sugar beet or in potato tubers, only traces of fusicoccin-like ligands were detected. Fusicoccin A was detected in genetically
transformed cultured roots of horseradish by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Summary A laboratory study, three glasshouse tests and eight field experiments on commercial farms in East Anglia during 1972 to 1974 tested the effect of incorporating manganese in the coating of pelleted seed on the manganese nutrition and yield of sugar beet. The pelleting material readily absorbed manganese from solution but most of the manganese was held in plant-available forms. Tests in the glasshouse showed that manganese sulphate or manganous oxide were likely to be the most effective seed-pellet additives, but manganese sulphate was harmful to sugar beet in slightly acid potting compost.Incorporating manganous oxide in the pellet prevented early symptoms of deficiency on sugar beet in field experiments and replaced an early foliar spray but the plants developed manganese deficiency later. The treatment was an economic and effective method of supplying manganese to sugar-beet seedlings too small to spray but, should manganese deficiency be prolonged, the plants will need spraying when large enough. 相似文献
