Abstract
A strategy has been identified for the production of a low soil tare sugar beet by genetic manipulation of the table beet. This approach will involve increasing the sucrose storage capacity of the table beet by manipulating cell division in the cambial rings of the storage organ. Research aimed at the isolation of suitable cell division regulatory genes and storage organ specific promoter sequences is described. Sugar beet cdc 2 and cyclin sequences have been isolated by PCR techniques. Two root specific cDNA sequences have been characterized; one belongs to a group of hybrid proline-rich/hydrophobic proteins and the other resembles a gene induced during potato tuberisation.
