The present study was carried out at Experimental Unit, Tilak Dhari Post Graduate College, Jaunpur Uttar Pradesh during winter season of 2018-19 to investigate growth, yield and qualitative parameters various radish varieties. experiment laid in Randomized Block Design (R.B.D.) with ten treatments three replicatations. Ten varieties radish, used for the as were viz., Pusa Chetaki, Himani, Kashi...

Determination of the prosthetic group and titration of sulfhydryl group of ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR) from roots of radish (Raphanus sativus var acanthiformis cv Miyashige) confirmed its similarity to leaf-FNR. Antisera directed against radish root-FNR and leaf-FNR distinguished the enzyme forms from roots and leaves of radish as well as other flowering plants. The FNR isoenzymes sho...

The potential toxicity and accumulation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in agricultural crops has become an area of great concern and intense investigation. Interestingly, although below-ground vegetables are most likely to accumulate the highest concentrations of ENMs, little work has been done investigating the potential uptake and accumulation of ENMs for this plant group. The overall obj...

Isolated radish (Raphanus sativus L., var. Red Prince) cotyledons were incubated in growth medium plus graded concentrations of mannitol (-1 to -16 bars) for 28 hours. At the end of the incubation period, turgor pressures were measured using thermocouple psychrometers. Cell division, as measured by DNA increase, was greatly stimulated by increasing turgor from 5 to 6 bars. Cell enlargement was ...

The distribution of foliar-applied boron ([(10)B]boric acid) in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) was studied using for analysis of the stable isotopes a technique allowing a high sensitivity: spark-source mass spectrometry. Boron was recovered in the nontreated aerial parts and in the roots; however, the greatest fraction was in the treated leaf. It was possible with a laser-probe mass spectrograph...

The localization of carbamoylphosphate synthetase (CPSase) and aspartate carbamoyltransferase (ACTase), the first two enzymes of the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway, in chloroplasts was investigated. In dark-grown radish (Raphanus sativus) seedlings, light induced a prominent increase in CPSase activity, but had little effect on ACTase activity. Both enzymes were found in chloroplasts isolated ...

Abstract A radish panel of 152 accessions with diverse root shapes was assembled from the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) collection based on weighted geographical sampling. Accessions represented 35 countries and were categorized into eight regions—North America, Europe, Africa, West Asia, Central South East Southeast Asia. Multiple plants per accession assayed using genotyping by seque...
