The present communication reports the comparison of in vivo antioxidant, antimelanoma and antimutagenic activities of Eruca sativa seed oil and its bio principles (allyl isothiocyanate, phenylethyl isothiocyanate and sulphoraphane) against B16F10 melanoma cells induced in C57BL/6 mice model. Among the various treatments considered for the study, isothiocyanates combination (allyl isothiocyanate...

Eruca sa t i v a is a very important crop of Madeterranean region, and highly used as salad 3 in European countries . Sodium azide (NaN ) is a chemic a l mutagen, and widely used in crops to 3 improve their yield and quality traits . W e s tudied the effect of various concentrations of NaN ranged (1mM , 2mM , 3 mM, 4 mM and 5 mM) on germination and seedling growth of Eruca at various time 3 int...

background: nano-biotechnology is considered as one of the mainly vigorous field of research in new material science. recently, biosynthetic methods employing both biological microorganisms such as bacteria and fungus or plants extract have developed speedily as a trouble-free and feasible choice to obtain nanomaterials alternative to more complex chemical synthetic procedures. the particular d...

The Eruca sativa (Taramira) germplasm, comprising 102 accessions was evaluated for total seed storage proteins via sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The accessions were collected from different ecological areas of Pakistan. Total seed storage proteins were electrophoretically separated on 12.5 to 15.0% polyacrylamide gels. A total of 17 protein bands were det...

Background The phylogeny of tribe Brassiceae (Brassicaceae) has not yet been resolved because of its complex evolutionary history. This tribe comprises economically relevant species, including the genus Moricandia DC. This genus is currently distributed in North Africa, Middle East, Central Asia and Southern Europe, where it is associated with arid and semi-arid environments. Although some spec...

Purpose. To optimize the method of clonal micropropagation rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.). Methods. Seeds cultivars 'Znahar' and 'Lybid' were used for introduction into in vitro culture. Solutions sodium hypochlorite (35%), ethanol (70%) HgCl2 (0.2%) sterilization. A 5% solution chloramine served as a control. Sterile material was planted on liquid solid agar nutrient media according to Murashige-...
