Beta vulgaris (RefBeet-1.2.2)

About Beta vulgaris

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) is an important crop of temperate climates providing nearly 30% of the world's annual sugar production and a source for bioethanol and animal feed. The species belongs to the order of Caryophylalles, is diploid with 2n=18 chromosomes, has an estimated genome size of 714-758 Mb and shares an ancient genome triplication with other eudicot plants. Leafy beets have been cultivated since Roman times, but sugar beet is one of the most recently domesticated crops.
