The field program develops disease-resistant sugar beet germplasm with increased resistance to rhizoctonia crown and root rot, beet cyst nematode, fusarium yellows, the curly top virus, and other important diseases. Accessions (Plant Introductions, PI) from the USDA-ARS National Plant Germplasm Systems’ Beta collection are screened and incorporated into the commercial germplasm pool. PIs also are screened for resistance to major diseases and for morphological and agronomic traits. Enhanced sugar beet germplasm developed in Fort Collins is released to the sugar beet industry. There is a history of over 50 years of continued germplasm development from this program.   A strong group of collaborators worldwide helps us to maintain active field, greenhouse and laboratory research programs.  These include research in Beta genetics and genomics to explore the applied uses of new and traditional, biochemical and molecular techniques in our sugar beet germplasm improvement program. SNP markers and other molecular tools are used to investigate the genetic relationships among cultivated and wild sugar beet, allowing us to bring new sources of resistance into the cultivated genepool, and to better manage our USDA-ARS beet genetic resources.  These tools allow us to determine genetic control of pathogenicity in important sugar beet pathogens, of resistance in sugar beet, and of the interactions between pathogens and sugar beet.  The germplasm and knowledge developed in these research programs maintains a successful breeding program that develops enhanced germplasm and we have, over the last 20 years, released 38 enhanced sugar beet germplasm to the U.S. sugar beet industry.
