raphanus sativus l. (radish) plants were grown in waste water irrigated area of dinapur, a suburban area in the north east of varanasi, india. soil and plant characteristics were compared between fertilized (farmyard manure (fym), npk, and fym+n) and non-amended control treatments. compared to the control, plants grown in fym and fym+n amended soil showed a decrease in concentrations of heavy m...

Vernalization is a key process for premature bolting. Although many studies on vernalization have been reported, the molecular mechanism of vernalization is still largely unknown in radish. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptomes of radish seedlings at three different time points during vernalization. More than 36 million clean reads were generated for each sample and the portions mapped...

Methods: Aqueous extract (AqRS) and fresh juice (FreRS) of Raphanus sativus L. were prepared and evaluated by preliminary phytochemical test. Laxative action of the extract at a dose of 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg (p.o) was evaluated using wistar albino rats, weighing 200-300 g, in different experimental model such as loperamide induced constipation, laxative activity test, gastrointestinal motility...

. In this paper content of phenolic compounds from black radish (Raphanus sativus L. var niger) roots of different size were examined. Black radish grown in Serbia, with the same period of development, grouped by size into three groups: (R1) with mass of 350 15 g; (R2): 100 10 g and (R3): 35 5 g, were used. Plant extracts were prepared by using 80% (v/v) ethanol and total phenolic compounds con...
