Genetic diversity and physiological performance of Portuguese wild beet (Beta vulgaris spp. maritima) from three contrasting habitats

The establishment of stress resilient sugar beets (Beta vulgaris spp. vulgaris) is an important breeding goal since this cash crop is susceptible to drought and salinity. The genetic diversity in cultivated sugar beets is low and the beet wild relatives are useful genetic resources for tolerance tra...
