Sinapis alba is a long-day (LD) plant that can be induced to flower by a single LD. A number of changes normally occurring in the meristem of plants subjected to the LD can be produced in short day by a single application of a cytokinin to the apical bud. However, flower buds are not produced indicating that evocation by the cytokinin is only partial. In this work, the cytokinin content of root...

Defatted meals and protein concentrates from six accessions of Sinapis alba and one accession of Brassica juncea mustard seeds were analysed for their polypeptide profile and functional properties. Two types of protein concentrates were prepared using acid-induced and calcium-induced protein precipitations. Meals from the S alba seeds had similar polypeptide composition, which was different fro...

Myrosinase, which is present in cruciferous plant species, plays an important role in the hydrolysis of glycosides such as glucosinolates and is involved in plant defense. Brassicaceae myrosinases are diverse although they share common ancestry, and structural knowledge about myrosinases from cabbage (Brassica oleracea) was needed. To address this, we constructed a three-dimensional model struc...

Akhardal (Sinapis alba L.) Brassicaceae familyasına ait Sinapis cinsi içerisinde bulunan Türkiye’de önemli iki türünden biridir. Son yıllarda ülkemizde yapılan yabancı ot surveylerinde tarım alanlarında rastlanılan bir ottur. Buçalışma, Manisa ili tarlalarından 2019 yılında rastlantısal olarak toplanan akhardal (S. tohumlarıyla gerçekleştirilmiş olup, bu türüne tohumların minimum, optimum ve ma...

In seedlings of Raphanus sativus (radish) and Sinapis alba (mustard), irradiation for 6 hours with far red light significantly increases the extractable activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase by the end of the light period. A schedule of 10 minutes red light-110 minutes darkness-10 minutes red-110 minutes darkness-10 minutes red-110 minutes darkness has no effect as compared to dark controls. ...

The reproduction of a Wyoming population of Heterodera schachtii was determined for resistant trap crop radish (Raphanus sativus) and mustard (Sinapis alba) cultivars, and resistant and susceptible sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) cultivars in a greenhouse (21 degrees C/16 degrees C) and a growth chamber study (25 degrees C). Oil radish cultivars also were field tested in 2000 and 2001. In the greenh...
