Progress Report Objectives (from AD-416) Using field and greenhouse techniques, plant introductions from the National Plant Germplasm System Beta Collection will be evaluated for resistance to Fusarium Wilt, Aphanomyces Root Rot, Sugarbeet Root Aphid, Sugarbeet Cyst Nematode, and Sugarbeet Root Maggot. The results will be entered into the GRIN system. Approach (from AD-416) Researchers with expertise in screening germplasm for resistance to these diseases will work with the Beet Sugar Development Foundation (BSDF) to use the appropriate tests to evaluate accessions from the NPGS Beta Collection. Resistance to Fusarium and Aphanomyces will be evaluated in replicated field trials. Resistance to Sugarbeet Root Aphid, Sugarbeet Cyst Nematode, and Root Maggot will be evaluated in Replicated Greenhouse Trials. These data will be collected by the BSDF and forwarded to the Sugarbeet Crop Germplasm Committee Chairperson, who will see that they are entered into the GRIN system. Significant Activities that Support Special Target Populations This is the final report documenting research conducted under a Grant Agreement between ARS and the Beet Sugar Development Foundation. Additional details of research can be found in the report for the parent project 5402-21220-006-00D titled, "Nonchemical Pest Control and Enhanced Sugar Beet Germplasm via Traditional and Molecular Technologies". This has been an ongoing program that has been aggressively pursued by the Sugar Beet Crop Germplasm Committee (CGC) since the mid 1980s. Using the data from the Sugar Beet CGC evaluations, the USDA/ARS plant breeders began introgressing wild germplasm into the sugar beet genepool and releasing this germplasm to U.S. sugar beet seed companies and international seed companies. Currently, the Genetic Resources Information Network (GRIN) Database of the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) Beta collection has 2,627 Beta accessions, which are a rich source of disease resistance genes and are being aggressively evaluated. Currently, over 25,000 evaluation records (descriptors * accessions evaluated) are in the database. These and other data in the GRIN database can be accessed through the World Wide Web - URL: http://www.ars-grin. gov/npgs. ADODR monitoring activities include frequent phone calls, meetings, and emails.

Progress Report 4a List the single most significant research accomplishment during FY 2006. Diseases remain an important source of crop and sugar losses throughout the United States and the international community, and, in addition, there is growing awareness that serious environmental costs and problems can result from the use of chemical pesticides to control pests and diseases. The Sugar Beet CGC in collaboration with the Beet Sugar Development Foundation (Denver, CO) and supported by the NPS has coordinated a national program to screen PI accessions from the NPGS Beta collection for resistance to Sugar Beet Root Maggot (Dr. Mark Boetel, North Dakota State University); Sugar Beet Cyst Nematode (Dr. Saad L. Hafez, U of ID, Parma Research & Extension Center); Rhizomania, and yellowing viruses (Dr. Robert T. Lewellen , (USDA-ARS, Salinas, CA); Sugar Beet Root Aphid (Dr. J. Michels, Texas A&M Bushland Research & Extension Center); Cercospora leaf spot and Rhizoctonia
root rot (Drs. Linda Hanson and Lee Panella, USDA-ARS, Fort Collins, CO); and Beet Curly Top Virus (Drs. Anne Gillen & Carl Strausbaugh, USDA-ARS, Kimerly, ID). The results of this screening have been sent to the Chairman of the Sugar Beet CGC to be entered into GRIN. From here researchers and plant breeders can access this information and request these germplasm to develop sugar beet varieties with disease resistance. 4d Progress report. This report serves to document research conducted under Grant Agreement #58-5402-2-309 between ARS and the Beet Sugar Development Foundation. Additional details of research can be found in the report for the parent project 5402-21220-006-00D titled, "Nonchemical Pest Control and Enhanced Sugar Beet Germplasm via Traditional and Molecular Technologies". This is an ongoing program that has been aggressively pursued by the Sugar Beet Crop Germplasm Committee (CGC) since the mid 1980s. Using the data from the Sugar Beet CGC evaluations, the USDA/ARS
plant breeders began introgressing wild germplasm into the sugar beet genepool and releasing this germplasm to U.S. sugar beet seed companies and international seed companies.
