The structure of turnip crinkle virus has been determined at 3.2 A resolution, using the electron density of tomato bushy stunt virus as a starting point for phase refinement by non-crystallographic symmetry. The structures are very closely related, especially in the subunit arm and S domain, where only small insertions and deletions and small co-ordinate shifts relate one chain to another. The...

The regulation of light-dependent anthocyanin biosynthesis in Brassica rapa subsp. rapa cv. Tsuda turnip was investigated using an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced mutant R30 with light-independent pigmentation. TILLING (targeting induced local lesions in genomes) and subsequent analysis showed that a stop codon was inserted in the R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene BrMYB4 and that the enco...

Microgreens are a functional food that is very appreciated for their good taste and product features. They produced all year without fertilizers pesticides. In this paper, the effects of application commercial natural biostimulants on yield nutraceutical properties turnip greens radish microgreens were investigated. The experiment consisted four treatments based (Bio-1: TRAINER®; Bio-2: AQUAMIN...

Objectives: Turnip leaf has been used in folk medicine of Iran for the treatment of diabetes. However,so far no scientific study has been done to support its use in traditional medicine. The present study was carried out to evaluate the possible hypoglycemic efficacy of aqueous extract of turnip leaf (AETL) in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Alloxan-induced diabetic rats were orally treat...


 A pot experiment was carried out to check the impact of different organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth yield turnip, at Horticulture Departmental experimental area, Faculty Agriculture, Gomal University, D.I. Khan, during 2012-13. The laid in RCD with seven treatments replicated three times. Treatments contained control (no fertilizer added), FYM @ 25 t/hec, Poultry manure...

A greenhouse study was conducted in sand cultures to compare the effects of saline irrigation waters applied by two different methods, flooding and above-canopy sprinkling, on selenium (Se) accumulation by the forage brassicas, kale (Brassica oleracea L., cv. ‘‘Premier’’) and turnip (B. rapa L., cv. ‘‘Forage Star’’). The composition of the irrigation water was designed to simulate saline (7 dS ...

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is a potyvirus that is transmitted by aphids and infects a wide range of plant species. We investigated the evolution of this pathogen by collecting 32 isolates of TuMV, mostly from Brassicaceae plants, in Australia and New Zealand. We performed a variety of sequence-based phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of the complete genomic sequences and of three non-...
