Article Synopsis
- This study developed an omics profiling system to evaluate sugar beet after exposure to varying levels of sulfate, using sulfate-deprived seedlings that were treated with magnesium sulfate (MgSO).
- Root samples were analyzed using advanced techniques like WinRHIZO for morphology and different spectrometry methods for ionomic and metabolic data, alongside targeted molecular profiling with OpenArray for specific genes related to sulfate nutrition.
- Results showed that treated seedlings had improved root traits for nutrient uptake, and significant gene expression changes were noted, indicating enhanced auxin-related pathways in roots and oxidative stress responses in leaves, suggesting that these methods could effectively assess sugar beet's nutritional status under different conditions.
Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is the causal agent of various diseases with dramatic effects on citrus crops worldwide. Most Citrus species, grown on their own roots, are symptomless hosts for many CTV isolates. However, depending on different scion-rootstock combination, CTV infection should result in distinct syndromes, being 'tristeza' the more severe one, leading to a complete decline of the susceptible plants in a few weeks.

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important source of sugar and bioethanol production in temperate areas worldwide.

(L.) kernels were studied, with particular emphasis on changes in the redox state of ascorbate and glutathione, as well as in the activities of the enzymes responsible for the recycling of their oxidized forms (ascorbic free radical reductase, EC 1.
