Abstract:

In order to analyze the morphological response mechanism of sugar beet to low-nitrogen stress, sugar beet germplasm resource ‘780016B/12 superior’ was used as the research material, the changes of morphology and root architecture of sugar beet were comprehensively analyzed under nitrogen deficiency (N 0 mmol/L) and low nitrogen (N 1.5 mmol/L). The results showed that under nitrogen stress, the above-ground biomass accumulation decreased, the underground biomass accumulation increased, the root to shoot ratio increased, the leaf area decreased, and the growth and development of sugar beet was inhibited. After 7 to 14 days of low nitrogen stress, the increase of root area, volume and root branch number were greater than those of the control (N 10 mmol/L). Under nitrogen stress, the root architecture of sugar beet was dichotomy, and with the increase of stress time and nitrogen deficiency, the greater the underground biomass, the more obvious this phenomenon is. Therefore, it can be inferred that the root biomass of sugar beet is closely related to the root architecture. Sugar beet obtains nitrogen balance by changing the root ratio and root architecture.

Key words: sugar beet, low-nitrogen stress, phenotype, morphological response, root architecture
