to evaluate the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and chemical phosphorous fertilizer on turnip (brassica rapa) forage yield under limited irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in karaj/iran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots. five lev...

A mosaic disease of turnip [Brassica rapa L.) occurs on Long Island, N. Y. Typical specimens of this disease were obtained for comparative greenhouse studies with virus diseases affecting certain cultivated crucifers in California {lô, 16,17,18)} It is the purpose of this paper to describe briefly the symptoms of this mosaic disease of turnip from New York, to present experimental evidence on t...

The effects of two different harvest stages (full flowering and full podding) on forage yield and quality of ten forage rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and three turnip (Brassica rapa L. var. rapa) cultivars were evaluated under rainfed conditions in a Mediterranean type climate at Bursa, Turkey, during the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 growing seasons. Plant height, branches per plant, leaf l...

Several plant mitochondrial genomes contain repeated sequences that are postulated to be sites of homologous intragenomic recombination (1-3). In this report, we have used filter hybridizations to investigate sequence relationships between the cloned mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) recombination repeats from turnip, spinach and maize and total mtDNA isolated from thirteen species of angiosperms. We f...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of turnip leaves against oxidative stress induced by high cholesterol diet in adult rats. Five groups of rats were used for 4 weeks, group (1) fed on basal diet (negative group), group (2) fed high cholesterol-diet (positive group), groups (3), (4) and (5) were fed high cholesterol-diets with addition of turnip leaves at thre...

The calcineurin B-like protein (CBL)-CBL-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) complex has been identified as a primary component in calcium sensors that perceives various stress signals. Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) has been widely cultivated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a century as a food crop of worldwide economic significance. These CBL-CIPK complexes have been demonstrated to play cru...

AIM The aim of this clinical study is to provide scientific evidence for supporting traditional Chinese application and usage to the patients. For this purpose, we tested the ability if Panax ginseng extract to lower oxidative damage to nuclear DNA in human lymphocytes by comparing the effect of cooked Chinese turnip on this effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven healthy subjects (4 males and 3 ...
