| 0 | PI 643989 | 'TBEL1' | Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris | Michigan, United States | W6 | | Not Available | 2006 | DEVELOPED | PRE 11/28/2006 | | | | | Cultivar | TBEL1 is self-fertile (Sf), has dark red roots conditioned by the accumulation of betalin pigments, and segregates for monogerm seed type. Its parents could have contributed characters including genic-male-sterility (A_:aa), red ypocotyl (R_:rr), and resistance to rhizomania conferred by the Rz1 allele, moderate resistance to the curly top virus, powdery mildew, Erwinia, and bolting, and O-type (xx, zz) that confers cytoplasmic male sterility in an S-type sterile cytoplasm, although these have not been specifically tested. The table beet parent W357B is a red table beet germplasm developed in the table beet breeding program at the University of Wisconsin by Dr. Buck Gabelman. The kind generosity of Dr. Gableman and Dr. Irwin Goldman in allowing this germplasm to contribute to the development of TBEL-1 is gratefully acknowledged. The sugar beet parent C6869 was used as a female in the initial cross, and this germplasm was subsequently enhanced and released as C869 (PI 628754). | 1713691 | PI 643989 |
