| Abstract | Beta vulgaris s.l. is a morphologically variable taxon, that has transitional growth types between strictly orthotropous and plagiotropous growth. The development of a “secondary branching system” at the end of the growing season in taxa that are summer annual (under the climatic conditions of Central Germany) leads to perennial taxa that form slender storage roots and overwinter as rosettes. The shoots of the four morphologically different annual taxa are very similar anatomically. Collenchymatous ridges, that are conspicuous macroscopically as stem ridges, are typical. The secondary growth is anomalous and often irregular. Six more or less complete rings of connective and vascular tissue are formed in the roots by successively arising cambia, which have an unlimited ability to divide. However, the diameter of the roots does not only enlarge by divisions within the cambia but also by primary growth within the connective tissue. |
