Sugar beet ( L.) is a biennial herb belonging to the Amaranthaceae family. It contributes to approximately 30% of the world's total sucrose production and is an economically important crop.

The transition from vegetative growth, during which sugar accumulated in beet, to reproductive growth, during which sugar exhausted in beet, is determined by vernalization and photoperiod.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Low temperature, which is one of the main environmental factors that limits geographical distribution and sucrose yield, is a common abiotic stress during the growth and development of sugar beet. As a regulatory hub of plant response to abiotic stress, activity in the chloroplasts is related to many molecular and physiological processes, particularly in response to low temperature stress.
Results: The contents of chlorophyll (Chl) and malondialdehyde (MDA), relative electrical conductivity (REL), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured.
Background: Detailed investigation of the vasculature of the lateral aspect of the foot has rarely been presented. However, harvesting the flap in this area to cover defects of the foot and hand is highly important. Repair of soft-tissue defects at the forefoot remains a challenge in reconstructive surgery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Soft-tissue defects of the forefoot are difficult to cover adequately, particularly, although multiple options for reconstruction are available. This study especially focused on the vascularization of the medial side of the foot and the determination of the contribution of the nutrient vessels to medialis pedis flap viability.
Methods: Thirty cadavers were available for this anatomical study.
Purpose: This study aims to identify a repair procedure for ulcers or defect of the forefoot region. The general distribution and variation of the vascular anatomy of the distally based venocutaneous flap on the medial plantar artery of the hallux with medial plantar vein and nutrient vessels were investigated. This study especially focused on the vascularization of the medial side of the foot and the determination of the contribution of the nutrient vessels of medial plantar vein and medial dorsal cutaneous nerve to flap viability.
