In this study, we investigated the effects of the ethanol extract of aerial parts of Raphanus sativus L. (ERL) on breast cancer cell proliferation and gene expression associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. The MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of various concentrations (100, 200, or 300 µg/mL) of ERL. ERL significantly d...

Objective: We investigated hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of extracted anthocyanins fraction of red radish for the first time. Methods: Anthocyanins fraction of red radish (Raphanus sativus; AFRS) was selectively extracted by employment of polymeric ion-exchange resin. AFRS was evaluated for antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatot...

Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi alelopatski potencijal lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) na klijavost sjemena i rast klijanaca rotkvice (Raphanus sativus L.), radiča (Cichorium intybus L. var. foliosum) rajčice (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Vodeni ekstrakti pripremljeni od suhe nadzemne mase u tri koncentracije (1 %, 2,5 % 5 %) testirani su laboratorijskim uvjetima. Alelopatski ovisio o test vr...

Plant biomass is known to increase in response to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (pCO2); however, no experiments have quantified the trajectory of crop fertilization across the full range of pCO2 levels estimated for the next 300 years. Here we quantify the aboveand below-ground biomass response of Raphanus sativus (common radish) across eight pCO2 levels ranging from 348 to 1791 ppmv. ...

Total syntheses of 4-methylthio-3-butenylisothiocyanate (MTBI, 1) and raphanusanin (2), which are growth inhibitors involved in the phototropism radish (Raphanus sativus) hypocotyls, were achieved from commercially available thiolane four five steps, respectively. MTBI (1) was prepared via ring opening with sodium azide, double bond introduction by oxidation, isothiocyanation. Cyclization to (2...

Radish, Raphanus sativus, is an important dietary vegetable in Asian countries, especially in China, Japan, and Korea. In this study, the variation of glucosinolate (GSL) contents among three radish cultivars, including Seo Ho, Man Tang Hong, and Hong Feng No. 1 were evaluated. While significantly different levels of 13 GSLs were observed in both the skin and flesh of these radish cultivars, th...
