Özet
Sugar is a vital additive of the average human diet. The production of sugar is mainly from two raw materials: sugarcane and sugar beet. However, the yield of sugar beet is threatened by biotic and abiotic factors. Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a plant virus that can cause serious economic damage to sugar beet crops. This study employed bibliometric analysis tools to scrutinize global research on BNYVV. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze research progress, hotspots, international and institutional collaboration, subject categories, and author cocitation keywords of BNYVV-related studies. A total of 681 publications were collected from the Web of Science (WoS) database and analyzed using R studio, VOSviewer, Google colab online application, and bibliometric analysis tools. These findings suggest that the research output on BNYVV has fluctuated over time, with periods of growth followed by stabilization. This is in line with our hypothesis that external factors, such as funding or global events, might influence the rate of publication. The United States of America and Germany emerged as the most productive countries, collectively accounting for over 30% of all BNYVV-related research publications. On average, “Yellow vein virus” and “sugar beet” were found to be the predominant keywords within the designated year range. Hotspot research areas such as “Rz-1,” “resistance breaking,” and “yield” are the keywords with the strongest burst within the last decade, a trend likely to appreciate in the future. Within the last decade, it could be deduced that “BNYVV resistance” is one of the growing themes that attracted research attention from experts. A recent keywod hotspot (yield) was identified via keyword citation burst. This study highlights the progress made in BNYVV research and explores new directions for investigation to ameliorate the effect of the virus on sugar beet yield.
