Influence of sugar beet breeding on populations of Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima in Italy. Bartsch, D. & Schmidt, M. Journal of Vegetation Science, 8(1):81-84, 1997.
abstract   bibtex   
It is highly probable that transgenic cultivars of sugar beet may influence wild beets in the seed-production-area of northern Italy. For this reason a survey of the local wild beet populations and their habitat characteristics was conducted in 1994/1995, i.e. before transgenic beets and their offspring could have become established. Wild beets (Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima) were found at 21 locations between Trieste and Cesenatico, as part of the natural littoral vegetation classified as Atriplicetum tatarici (Cakiletea maritimae) and Crithmetum (Crithmo-Staticetea). The analysis of phenotypic attributes leads to a division into three different subpopulations. Greenhouse studies on the morphology and life- cycle attributes demonstrated actual gene flow between conventional seed beet and the examined wild beet population.
