Dehydration during storage affects carbohydrate metabolism and the accumulation of non-sucrose carbohydrates in postharvest sugarbeet roots
Sugarbeet roots produced in cold climates are stored in large piles prior to processing and are cooled by ambient winter air. These storage conditions dehydrate roots, causing root respiration rate and sucrose loss in storage to increase. Dehydration likely alters carbohydrate metabolism due to a gr...
