The recent study was carried out for the comparative analysis of heavy metals in Brassica campestris and Raphanus sativus irrigated with municipal waste water of Sargodha city. Field surveys were done for this experiment. Three experimental sites i.e Bhalwal road, Ajnala road and Faisalabad road were selected in Sargodha city for field surveys. Vegetables samples were collected from these sites...

A LEAFY cDNA was cloned from the short-day (SD) plant Brassica juncea cv Varuna. (BjLFY) consists of 1261 bp encoding for a protein of 420 amino acids and an estimated isoelectric point of 6.8. The deduced amino acid showed 99% and 86% identity to Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica oleracea LFY cDNA respectively. The LFY transcript was detected throughout the vegetative and reproductive phase bu...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and mustard juncea are two important oilseed crops grown worldwide for edible oil meal production, as well as, a source of renewable energy. Silique shattering at the maturity stage is major cause seed yield reduction in brassica. Losses more developing countries due to poor management non-availability combine harvesters. resistance essential achieving good especial...

In Indonesia, cruciferous cabbage is known as Ceciwis (Brassica oleracea var. capitata alba), a vegetable that can be consumed diet. member of the Brassica family, which has been shown to have chemo-preventive action. The existence antioxidant activity confirms its efficacy. Further research required. Antioxidant will undoubtedly affected by extraction procedure and circumstances. objective o

Brassica napus is a leading oilseed crop throughout many parts of the world. It is well adapted to long day photoperiods, however, it does not adapt well to short day subtropical regions. Short duration B. napus plants were resynthesized through ovary culture from interspecific crosses in which B. rapa cultivars were reciprocally crossed with B. oleracea. From five different combinations, 17 hy...

INTRODUCTION Brassica vegetables have been related to the prevention of cancer and degenerative diseases, owing to their glucosinolate and phenolic content. OBJECTIVE Identification of glucosinolates, flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acids in representative varieties of kale, cabbage and leaf rape. METHODOLOGY One local variety of each crop was evaluated in this study using a multi-purpose ch...
