Sugar beet seed bacteriobiota

Sugar beet is the most important crop for sugar production in temperate zones and second in the world, covering 30% of the world sugar production. Recently, has also been recognized as a source for biofuel production. As highly important industrial crop, this study aimed to characterize for the first time bacteriobiota associated with five sugar beet hybrids, i.e., Eduarda, Koala, Tibor, Tajfun and Cercospora resistant. The influence of the genotypes of the different hybrids on the composition of the seed bacteriobiota as a product of hybridization was analyzed.
