Raphanus sativus L. belongs to family Brassicaceae and is more commonly known as Radish. Radish has long been grown as a food crop and are of high medicinal value. R. sativus seeds and leaves contain ‘raphanin’ which has been found to possess antibacterial and antifungal potential. In the present study, R. sativus root juice was evaluated for its antimicrobial potential against five bacterial s...

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...

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...

The genetic basis for virulence in potyviruses is largely unknown. Earlier studies showed that there are two host types of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV); the Brassica/Raphanus (BR)-host type infects both Brassica and Raphanus systemically, whereas the Brassica (B)-host type infects Brassica fully and systemically, but not Raphanus. The genetic basis of this difference has been explored by using th...

Hydroxycinnamoyltransferases which catalyze the formation of O-sinapoylcholine (sinapine) using l-0-sinapoyl-ß-D-glucose as acyl donor have been isolated from seeds of radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) and mustard (Sinapis alba L.) and purified 420and 293-fold, respectively. The enzymes (“sinapine synthase”) had apparent molecular weights of about 60,000 daltons and showed highest activ...

A linkage map of expressed sequence tag (EST)-based markers in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was constructed using a low-cost and high-efficiency single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method named multiplex polymerase chain reaction-mixed probe dot-blot analysis developed in this study. Seven hundred and forty-six SNP markers derived from EST sequences of R. sativus were assigned to ni...
