Other common name(s): couchgrass, wheatgrass diet, agropyron Scientific/medical name(s): Raphanus sativus. The common name "radish" is derived from Latin radix (root). Description The radish is an edible root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family that was domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times. Radishes have numerous varieties, varying in size, color and duration of required cultivation time...

Using cultivation, immunofluorescence microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, we demonstrated the presence of viable enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 not only on the outer surfaces but also in the inner tissues and stomata of cotyledons of radish sprouts grown from seeds experimentally contaminated with the bacterium. HgCl2 treatment of the outer surface of the hypocotyl did not...

The relationship among gibberellins, C vernalization, and photoperiod in the flowering response of radish, Raphanus sativus L., cv. Miyashige-sofuto, was studied. The optimal condition for flowering was vernalization and a 16-hour photoperiod; GA3 had no additional effect. Gibberellin A3 (60 ,jg total) was not able to induce flowering in nonvernalized plants grown on 8-hour days, but it did inc...

this research was conducted on polluted soil near the lead and zinc factory in zanjan province through which the effects of two organic and three mineral sources were examined on heavy metals fixation in randomized experiment design. experimental treatments includes bagasse and rice husk in three levels: 1.25, 2.5 and 5%, zeolite in three levels: 5%, 10% and 15%, phosphate rock in three rates: ...

abstract in recent years some research results have appeared that exogenous salicylic acid provided significant mitigation effect against salinity induced injuries in plants. an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salt stress and salicylic acid on radish (raphanus sativus l.) plants. after appearing first leaves, plants were treated by salicylic acid (0.2 mm) for 3 days and n...

Magnetic stimulation of seeds before sowing can have a significant impact on the speed their germination. Sprouts are sought after by consumers for high nutrient content. The purpose study was to investigate influence pulsed magnetic field dynamics seed germination and content ions in sunflower, cress, radish sprouts. research material experiment provided sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), garde...

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing morphologically important traits enables to comprehend their potential genetic mechanisms in the genetic breeding program. In this study, we used 210 F2 populations derived from a cross between two radish inbred lines (Raphanus sativus) "835" and "B2," including 258 SSR markers were used to detect QTLs for 11 morphological traits that r...

OBJECTIVE Very recent studies have reported positive effects of dietary nitrate on the oxygen consumption during exercise. This research aimed to study the effect of moderate dose of high-nitrate vegetables, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) and red radish (Raphanus sativus) compared with a control group on the incremental treadmill exercise test following a standard Bruce protocol controlled ...

Brassica cover crops are new to the mid-Atlantic region, and limited information is available on their N uptake capabilities for effective N conservation. Forage radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Daikon), oilseed radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Adagio), and rape (Brassica napus L. cv. Dwarf Essex) were compared with rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Wheeler), a popular cover crop in the region, with reg...
