Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the leading agricultural crops worldwide, playing a key role in global sugar production. In sugar beet breeding, along with high yield potential, increased sugar content, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors, issues related to genetic and cytogenetic stability are of particular importance. Especially, the condition of the chromosomal apparatus and hereditary characteristics at the cellular level in parental varieties are among the main factors determining the quality and performance of future hybrids.
