The Brassicaceae family includes important crop plants as well as the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The evolutionary history of this family is characterized by a number of whole genome duplications (WGDs), and the relationships within the family have been a matter of study and debate for decades. Recent multi-gene phylogenetic analyses have revealed that the Brassicaceae family can be divid...

accurate and nondestructive methods to determine individual leaf areas of plants are useful tools in physiological and agronomic research. a determination of the individual leaf area (la) of such species in brassicaceae family as red cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. rabra), cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. alba) and broccoli (brassica oleracea var. italica l.) ...

The mustard family – Brassicaceae – is well known as family of plants, metallophytes, which are able to accumulate wide range of heavy metals and metalloids, especially zinc and cadmium, but also nickel, thallium, chromium and selenium. Ecological importance of this process consists partially in plants themselves to survive negative environmental conditions. There are two basic different strate...
