Application of non-destructive sensors to the genetic characterisation of the storage root formation in sugar beet
Project
Project code: 0315531D
Contract period: 01.09.2011
- 31.08.2014
Budget: 163,131 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research
The goal of this project is to apply a non destructive sensing technology to phenotype a segregating sugar beet population for the genetic characterization of root formation. The objectives are (i) to develop a sugar beet population segregating for root size, (ii) conduct repeated root measurements in a greenhouse experiment and (iii) perform genetic mapping of genes underlying root formation.
