Development and application of qRT-PCR for sugar beet gene expression analysis in response to in vitro induced water deficit

Sugar beet is a significant industrial crop, often grown in the areas where summer drought can severely limit root yield and sugar content. In order to improve development of sugar beet cultivars with increased drought tolerance it is necessary to understand plant response to water stress at the gen...
