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...

When cultivating genetically modified varieties, the spontaneous gene flow between crop and wild relatives could be of concern. We analyzed spontaneous hybridization between a transgenic male-sterile line of oilseed rape (Brassica napus, 2n = 38, AACC) and, as pollen donors, three European populations of wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum, 2n = 18, Rr,Rr) and a variety of cultivated radish (Rap...

For more than three decades, various in vitro and in vivo studies have linked radishes with diabetes, though this link has not been discussed. This review systematically addresses and summarizes the effect of radishes on diabetes. We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE databases for English language articles from June 1987 through May 2017 using the key words "radish" and "diabetes,...

abstract there is a world-wide effort to reduce the amount of chemicals used in crop production by introducing modern biological and ecological methods. one possible alternative is allelopathy. a laboratory trial was carried out to investigate of alleopathic potential of angelica . in this study the effect of different concentrations of aqueous extract of angelica herb was investigated on seed ...

Phytotoxicity of Daphne gnidium L. was evaluated through the effect of incorporating leaves, stems and roots biomass into soil (at 12.5, 25, 50g/Kg) and irrigation by their aqueous extracts (50g/L), on the growth of two crops (Lactuca sativa L. and Raphanus sativus L.) and two weeds (Peaganum harmala L. and Scolymus maculatus L.). Results revealed a perceptible phytotoxic effect which increased...

the probability of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients increases due to hyperlipidemia. raphanus sativus is a traditional plant which is used to lower plasma lipid. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of raphanus sativus on plasma glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol in diabetic rats. for this purpose, 30 male rats were selected, maintained in standard...

The zone of root hair formation of seedling radish roots, Raphanus sativus L., was studied by phase-contrast and electron microscopy. Localized dilations of the endoplasmic reticulum, which contained a moderately dense proteinaceous material, were found to be a common component of the cytoplasm in cells of the epidermis and cortex. The surfaces of these dilations were covered with polyribosomes...

Allelopathy is the direct or indirect harmful effect which one plant produces on another through the production of chemical compounds that escape into the environment. In the presence paper allelopathic relationships were determined in three cereals wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.) and vegetable crops spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), radish (Raphan...
