abstract = {Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) infection can cause severe yield
loss in sugar beet. Introduction of Cercospora-resistant
varieties in breeding programmes is important for plant
protection to reduce both fungicide applications and the
risk of the development of fungal resistance. However, in
vivo monitoring of the sugar-containing taproots at early
stages of foliar symptoms and the characterization of the
temporal development of disease progression has proven
difficult. Non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
measurements were conducted to quantify taproot development
of genotypes with high (HS) and low (LS) levels of
susceptibility after foliar Cercospora inoculation. Fourteen
days post-inoculation (dpi) the ratio of infected leaf area
was still low $(~7\%)$ in both the HS and LS genotypes.
However, during this period, the volumetric growth of the
taproot had already started to decrease. Additionally,
inoculated plants showed a reduction of the increase in
width of inner cambial rings while the width of outer rings
increased slightly compared with non-inoculated plants. This
response partly compensated for the reduced development of
inner rings that had a vascular connection with
Cercospora-inoculated leaves. Hence, alterations in taproot
anatomical features such as volume and cambial ring
development can be non-invasively detected already at 14
dpi, providing information on the early impact of the
infection on whole-plant performance. All these findings
show that MRI is a suitable tool to identify promising
candidate parent lines with improved resistance to
Cercospora, for example with comparatively lower taproot
growth reduction at early stages of canopy infection, for
future introduction into breeing programmes.},
