Abstract:

Sugar beet is one of the major sugar crops in the world, and it has high sugar yield and good economic value. It is an indispensable crop to solve the problem of sugar security in China and one of the crops with very successful heterosis utilization. In order to rapidly select sugar beet varieties with high yield, high sugar and strong stress resistance, sugar beet breeding is gradually developing from conventional breeding to biological breeding, and biological breeding will be the future direction of sugar beet breeding. In this paper, the biological breeding methods of sugar beet that have been applied in recent years were summarized, including molecular marker technology, haploid induction technology, genetic engineering, cell engineering and omics technology, the future development of beet biological breeding was also prospected.

Key words: sugar beet, biological breeding, research progress
