Raphanus sativus L., a small-sized red radish, is an important root vegetable crop found worldwide and is commonly used in salads. The objective of this study was to measure the total phenolic and flavonoid content as well as to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Raphanus sativus L. cv. Cherry Belle and Raphanus sativus L. cv. Valentine. The total phenolic content and t...

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...

environmental pollution by 2,4-dicholorphenol (2,4-dcp), commonly found in industrial wastewater has been a concern for humans over the past 50 years. garden radish peroxidase (grp) can eliminate this poisonous pollutant. the aim of this study was to apply an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) and central composite design (ccd) to optimize grp-based treatment in order to maximize ...

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...

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...

The present study was based on the hypothesis that Boron (B) induces changes of other micronutrients in soil-plant systems. A preliminary study was carried out in sand culture growing radish (cv. French breakfast) as a test crop, under green house conditions. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design and replicated three times. Boron was applied at the rate of 0, 0.25, 0...
