Sugar beet root susceptibility to storage rots and downregulation of plant defense genes increases with time in storage

Abstract Storage rots are a significant cause of postharvest losses for the sugar beet crop, however, intrinsic physiological and genetic factors that determine the susceptibility of roots to pathogen infection and disease development are unknown. Research, therefore, was carried out to evaluate the...
