Radish (Raphanus sativus) is a Brassica vegetable important for human nutrition and health because it rich in diverse metabolites. Although previous studies have evaluated various metabolites, few comprehensively profiled the primary secondary metabolites roots of white- green-colored radishes. Thus, this study aimed to provide information about contents beneficial both cultivars investigate re...

Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) was applied to study the meiosis of F1 plants from intergeneric hybrids between radish (Raphanus sativus, 2n=18, RR) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea, 2n=18, CC). The result showed that its somatic cells had the expected chromosomes, RC, 2n=18; but the pollen mother cells (PMCs) were different. There were three main kinds of PMCs. The first one was RC (2n=18),...

Animals may respond to habitat quality and habitat edges and these responses may affect their distribution between habitats. We studied the movement behaviour of a ground-dwelling generalist predator, the carabid beetle Pterostichus melanarius (Illiger). We performed a mark-recapture experiment in two adjacent habitats; a large plot with oilseed radish (Raphanus sativus) and a plot with rye (Se...

The effect of 24-epibrassinolide and 28-homobrassinolide on seed germination and seedling growth of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was studied under cadmium toxicity. The impact of brassinosteroids (BRs) on free proline levels and the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT; EC 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (POD; EC 1.11.1.7), superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1), ascorbic peroxidase (APOX; EC 1...

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...
