Acceleration of the breeding process to create a linear material of red beet

The traditional production of linear material and hybrids in the selection of red beet is a time-consuming, long-term process due to the two - year cycle of plant development, self-and cross-incompatibility, inbred depression. Significantly reduce the life cycle of the plant allows the vernalization at different stages of development, including during the "steckling". Cultivation of plants with the use of steckling culture in the "Federal Scientific Vegetable Center . The material of the study was inbred offspring Г1-в, which were studied in several series of independent experiments using different schemes of growing stecklings and roots (one-year and biennial cycles). It is shown that the use of culture of steckling and protected ground for breeding schemes to create lines of red beet is advisable, as it accelerates the process of evaluating the heterogeneity of inbred progenies for earliness, index, root, the manifestation of cytoplasmic sterility, and also allows you to get a wider range of different inbred forms due to the high variability in the offspring...
