A basic 9-kD protein was purified from seeds of radish (Raphanus sativus L.). The 43 amino-terminal amino acids show extensive sequence identity with nonspecific lipid transfer proteins from other plant species. The radish seed nonspecific lipid transfer protein-like protein inhibits the growth of several fungi in vitro.

objective: very recent studies have reported positive effects of dietary nitrate on the oxygen consumption during exercise. this research aimed to study the effect of moderate dose of high-nitrate vegetables, watercress (nasturtium officinale) and red radish (raphanus sativus) compared with a control group on the incremental treadmill exercise test following a standard bruce protocol controlled...

The molecular aspects of phytochemical interactions between plants, especially the process of phytochemical translocation by the target plant, remain challenging for those studying allelopathy. 2-Benzoxazolinone (BOA) is a natural chemical produced by rye (Secale cereale) and is known to have phytotoxic effects on weed seeds and seedlings. The translocation of BOA into target plants has been po...

Background: Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is one of the most popular root crops during rabi season and it well praised for its high nutritional therapeutic value. The current study on “impact integrated nutrient management yield quality characteristics radish” was carried out to determine interacting effects between organic manures inorganic fertilizers effective strategies advised radish. Metho...

Coastal plants with simple linear distribution ranges along coastlines provide a suitable system for improving our understanding of patterns of intra-specific distributional history and genetic variation. Due to the combination of high seed longevity and high dispersibility of seeds via seawater, we hypothesized that wild radish would poorly represent phylogeographic structure at the local scal...

Phenolic compounds are industrial chemicals widely used in the manufacture of products. Most of them are generated artificially and are found in the wastewaters from chemical plants, exhaust gases from incinerators, the side stream smoke from cigarettes. They are easily adsorbed in humans, regardless of their form. High levels of phenols have been shown to have detrimental effects on animal hea...

In order to investigate the accumulation and bio-absorption of lead and cadmium in radish and cress, the present study has been conducted in a completely randomized design in three replicates in a hydroponic growing medium. The first factor includes the plant type at two levels (radish and cress), and the second factor is consisted of lead (Pb) (first experiment) at two levels (50 and 100 mg/L)...

An approach which could be used for quick searches for RAPD markers is described for groups of radish lines with certain morphological traits. The lines are characterized by various morpho-physiological abnormalities, including tumor formation (lines 12, 19, and 21) and non-terminal development of the flower meristem as a variant of tumor growth (line 6). We found four markers which differentia...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play vital regulatory roles in plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential heavy metal that is highly toxic to living organisms. To date, a number of conserved and non-conserved miRNAs have been identified to be involved in response to Cd stress in some plant species. However, the miR...
