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...

Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) was applied to study the meiosis of F1 plants from intergeneric hybrids between radish (Raphanus sativus, 2n=18, RR) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea, 2n=18, CC). The result showed that its somatic cells had the expected chromosomes, RC, 2n=18; but the pollen mother cells (PMCs) were different. There were three main kinds of PMCs. The first one was RC (2n=18),...

Animals may respond to habitat quality and habitat edges and these responses may affect their distribution between habitats. We studied the movement behaviour of a ground-dwelling generalist predator, the carabid beetle Pterostichus melanarius (Illiger). We performed a mark-recapture experiment in two adjacent habitats; a large plot with oilseed radish (Raphanus sativus) and a plot with rye (Se...

The action spectrum of apparent photosynthesis for attached radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. Early Scarlet Globe) and corn (Zea mays L. var. Pride V.) leaves was measured at 300 mul/l CO(2) and both 21% and 2% O(2). The spectra were measured at light intensities where apparent photosynthesis was proportional to intensity. For radish, a high compensation point plant, oxygen had an inhibiting eff...

The introduction of pharmaceuticals into agricultural lands from the application biosolids and animal manure, irrigation with treated wastewater has led to concern for human health after ingestion pharmaceutical-tainted products. In this study, uptake accumulation cephalexin, a commonly prescribed antibiotic, was compared in three common vegetables (lettuce, celery, radish) grown nutrient solut...

Choice, active response, self-regulation, and other volition may all draw on a common inner resource. In Experiment 1, people who forced themselves to eat radishes instead of tempting chocolates subsequently quit faster on unsolvable puzzles than people who had not had to exert self-control over eating. In Experiment 2, making a meaningful personal choice to perform attitude-relevant behavior c...

applying nanoporous materials is an appropriate method for improving chemical quality of the water due to high surface area, internal porous structure (porosity), high absorption capability of harmful gases and liquids, and capability of reactivating the surface. therefore, actions were carried out in order to investigate the effect of activated carbon and zeolite on reducing the total dissolve...

A field experiment entitled “Intercropping of Chilli with Carrot and Radish in Prayagraj Agro- climatic Conditions” was conducted from November 2021 to March 2022 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj. This Experiment laid out randomized Block Design (RBD) three replications 08 treatments. The consiste...

Present paper deals with the synthesis of guanidinopyrimidine derivatives from substituted-biguanides, and with thier biological activities. 2-Arylguanidino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine derivatives had stronger herbicidal activity than 2-alkylguanidines. Espec ia l ly , 2-phenethylguanidino-4,6_dimethylpyrimidine inhib i ted a lmost the growth of radish roots at the concentration of 50 ppm, while at ...
