Abstract:

Beet mosaic is an aphid transmitted viral disease of sugar beet found worldwide, transmitted by many species of aphids in the non-persistent manner. Infected beets are sometimes stunted, young leaves often show vein-clearing; older leaves show a pronounced light and dark green mottle, and are often puckered. This paper concluded the situation of pathogen of Beet Mosaic Virus (BtMV) and germplasm resistance research, analyzed biological characteristics, genome and encoding protein structure function of BtMV pathogen, and studied the pathogen mediator and the virus replication mode; and also studied the structure and microscopic changes of BtMV inflected plants and leaves of sugar beet; summarized the detection methods for beet mosaic and the research progress of beet mosaic germplasm resistance and resistance reflection. This paper put forwards the thesis of further research on beet mosaic resistance, and made prospects on molecular mechanics of beet mosaic resistance and genetic engineering breeding. It could be helpful for the disease resistance investigation in agricultural production and shed some light for genetic engineering of disease resistance in beet breeding and cultivations.
