Abstract The atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma generated by low-frequency (LF)-microwave hybrid discharge has been employed to investigate the effects of treatment on germination and growth radish ( Raphanus sativus L. ) sprout seeds. with admixture gas Ar-O 2 was adopted for irradiation Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses were performed ...

Primary roots of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings were exposed to an inhomogeneous static magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet, during continuous rotation on a 0.06 rpm clinostat, thereby reducing the unilateral influence of gravity. The roots responded tropically to the static magnetic field with the tropism appearing to be negative. These roots responded significantly (P < 0.0...

Radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Cherriette), lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Waldmann's Green), and spinach (Spinacea oleracea L. cv. Nordic IV) plants were grown under 660-nm red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and were compared at equal photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) with either plants grown under cool-white fluorescent lamps (CWF) or red LEDs supplemented with 10% (30 micromoles m-2 s-1) blue ...

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is a member of the Brassicaceae family root vegetables and both roots leaves are consumed for their natural therapeutic value health promoting effects owing to presence phytochemicals. Thus, effect three different solvents (Cold, hot alcoholic) Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) extracts on germination growth radish was studied. A field experiment carried out during O...

Four crop plants Oryza sativa (rice), Solanum melongena (brinjal), Spinacea oleracea (spinach) and Raphanus sativus (radish) were grown to study the impact of secondary treated municipal waste water irrigation. These plants were grown in three plots each of 0.5 ha, and irrigated with secondary treated waste water from a sewage treatment plant. Sludge from the same sewage treatment plant was app...

Despite the increasing reports on the incidence of fresh vegetables and fruits as a possible vehicle for human pathogens, there is currently limited knowledge on the growth potential of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on different plant substrates. This study analyzed the selective adhesion and growth of E. coli O157:H7 on chili habanero (Capsicum chinense L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), radish (Raph...

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing morphologically important traits enables to comprehend their potential genetic mechanisms in the genetic breeding program. In this study, we used 210 F2 populations derived from a cross between two radish inbred lines (Raphanus sativus) "835" and "B2," including 258 SSR markers were used to detect QTLs for 11 morphological traits that r...

Abstract The southeastern United States has a long history of soil degradation due to intensive agriculture and climatic factors. Conservation management practices such as cover cropping aim improve productivity restore health. Our objectives were evaluate the performance crops their short‐term effects on health indicators for two types. Cover crop experiments conducted at Wiregrass (WREC) Tenn...

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...
