Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an important annual or biennial root vegetable crop. The fleshy taproot comprises the main edible portion of the plant with high nutrition and medical value. Molecular biology study of radish begun rather later, and lacks sufficient transcriptomic and genomic data in pubic databases for understanding of the molecular mechanism during the radish taproot formation....

The carbohydrate moieties of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are essential for their physiological functions and undergo rapid turnover in vivo. Degradation of the carbohydrate moieties of AGPs seems to occur by concerted action of several glycosidases, among them a-L-arabinofuranosidase, b-Dgalactosidase, and b-D-glucuronidase. Here, a bifunctional a-L-arabinofuranosidase/b-D-xylosidase from i...

Trace elements play a significant role in biological processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the trace elements of interest in kidney disease in commonly consumed greenhouse vegetables in Isfahan, Iran. Six kinds of greenhouse vegetables namely; Raphanus sativus (Radish), Cucumis sativus (Cucamber), Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato), green Capsicum annuum (Green bell pepper), yellow Capsic...

There are many potential risks to human health from heavy metal contamination of vegetables resulting from wastewater irrigated sites. This study was carried out to assess the concentration of chromium (Cr) and the risk to human health by chromium through the intake of locally grown vegetables collected from wastewater irrigated agricultural fields. Twenty-seven samples of 9 (nine) different ty...

Abstract Radish downy mildew (DM) caused by the oomycete Hyaloperonospora brassicae f. sp. raphani is a serious problem in radish crop, an edible root vegetable of Brassicaceae family. The objective this research was to assess germplasm for DM resistance and evaluate response different organs disease under controlled conditions. Forty-four accessions were inoculated at cotyledons true-leaves wi...

Isolated microspore culture in vitro (IMC) is an advanced technique for producing doubled haploids. We developed a modified isolation method the Brassicaceae family, which exceeds results obtained by standard method. found that new allows increase percentage of microspores at embryogenic stage development culture. In spring rapeseed ‘Ratnik’ increases from 66.7% to 73%, and European radish ‘RBK...

The paper considers the influence of spectrum and light intensity/photoperiod ratio on energy intensity production financial costs consumed electricity. This is caused not only by yield obtained, but also different efficiency lightemitting diodes price electricity at hours day. Considering spectrum, it was found that decrease with increasing proportion red for all microgreen varieties under con...

Holman J.: Absorption of the Horse-radish Peroxidase in the Small Intestine of Chicken. Acta vet. Brno, 47, 1978: 3-6. Localization of the horse-radish peroxidase was studied in the epithelium and stroma of the small intestitlal villi in the chic:, aged 37 days. The enzyme (molecular weight 40.000) was injected into the ligated jejunal loop. Its enteral absorption was shown to proceed via the s...

BACKGROUND Heavy metals are ubiquitous elsewhere in nature and their measurement in environment is necessary to develop health management strategies. In this study, we aimed to find out concentrations and spatial patterns of heavy metals in main farms of Sanandaj in Kurdistan, Iran. METHODS Over May to October 2012, six farms were selected to analyze concentrations and spatial patterns of sev...
