ABSTRACT
Sugar content is an important element of the productivity of sugar beet, which is a selection goal in the development of hybrids based on cytoplasm male sterility. Many scientists pointed out that sugar content is characterized by a significant variation factor (from 15 to 21%), which was significantly lower compared to yield [1, 2]. Studying the variability of populations of different origins, we found that the populations of the same variability were characterized by different absolute values of the sugar content, and vice versa [3]. Some scientists pointed at the appearance of transgress forms in the offspring with a frequency 0.7-1.4 percent [4].
