The methylation pattern of radish Raphanus sativus nuclear rDNA has been investigated using the Hpa II, Msp I, and Hha I restriction enzymes. The presence of numerous target sites for these enzymes has been shown using cloned rDNA fragments. A large fraction of the numerous rDNA units are heavily methylated, being completely resistant to Hpa II and Hpa I. However, specific sites are constantly ...

Formation of pyropheophorbide (PyroPheid) during chlorophyll metabolism in some higher plants has been shown to involve the enzyme pheophorbidase (PPD). This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of pheophorbide (Pheid) a to a precursor of PyroPheid, C-13(2)-carboxylPyroPheid a, by demethylation, and then the precursor is decarboxylated non-enzymatically to yield PyroPheid a. In this study, expressio...

Alkyl esters of hydroxycinnamic acids and vanillin derivatives were used as model compounds in the oxidative coupling reactions catalyzed by a crude enzymatic extract Raphanus sativus var (red radish). Six products isolated characterized: three alkyl dimers vanilloids dimers. Herein, we report var. showed peroxidase activity catalyzing phenols. Vanilloid coupled an ortho-ortho way expected, whi...

The formation of the seasonal CO 2 flux depending on species cabbage crops used for short-term summer green manuring fallow field in Baikal forest-steppe zone was studied. In experiments gray forest soil during warm season, emission rates per day were measured options with white mustard ( Sinapis alba L.) and oil radish Raphanus sativus var. oleifera Metzg). black follow served as control. tota...

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a cruciferous vegetable, and its leaves have antioxidant and anticancer properties. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of ethyl acetate extracts from radish leaves on hypertension in 11-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). The SHRs were randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 rats each on the basis of initial systolic blood pressure (SBP) an...
