Sugar beet has great economic impact, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. Classical breeding increased plants' taproot sugar contents to 20 %, but further improvements require identification of factors limiting sucrose accumulation. Recent research uncovered key elements for storage, including transporter pumping into vacuoles and regulatory proteins controlling its activity. As with other crops, led undesirable trait-offs, like frost sensitivity. However, studies metabolic reprogramming upon cold temperatures suggest potential strategies i) improving cold/frost tolerance ii) stabilizing yield. In addition, a rapidly evolving bacterial infection emerged, causing "Syndrome basses richesses". Our understanding this disease is limited, so needed prevent spread secure production. Accordingly, managing effects environmental stresses on genetically optimized plants minimizing threats critical maintaining
