Abstract excerpt
Rhizomania, caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV), is an important sugar-beet disease worldwide and can result in severe losses of root yield and sugar content. We have identified a major QTL for BNYVV resistance from a new source in a segregating population of 158 individuals. The QTL explained an estimated 78% of the observed phenotypic variation and the gene conferring the partial resistance is...
