Lead (Pb) is one of the most abundant heavy metal (HM) pollutants, which can penetrate the plant through the root and then enter the food chain causing potential health risks for human beings. Radish is an important root vegetable crop worldwide. To investigate the mechanism underlying plant response to Pb stress in radish, the protein profile changes of radish roots respectively upon Pb(NO3)2 ...

Radish flower color, bolting time, and flowering time are important traits for attracting certain pollinators affect fleshy root quality. In this study, an analysis of the anthocyanidins in radish flowers by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that differences cyanidin content likely to be associated with variability colors (i.e., purple white petals). A quantitative trait loci (QTL...

White radish sliced at 4 mm thickness was dehydrated by traditional osmotic dehydration (TOD) with nine types of solutions prepared a randomized combining three levels concentration sucrose and sodium chloride. The mass transfer characteristics were evaluated through the moisture diffusivity (Dm) solid (Ds), fit model also estimated based on popular models, including Newton, Henderson, Pabis We...

In both radish and Arabidopsis, lateral root initiation involves a series of rapid divisions in pericycle cells located on the xylem radius of the root. In Arabidopsis, the number of pericycle cells that divide to form a primordium was estimated to be about 11. To determine the stage at which primordia are able to function as root meristems, primordia of different stages were excised and cultur...

Abstract Aims Plant available soil nitrogen (N) may affect deep root growth and N depletion by catch crops. We investigated the influence of topsoil availability on uptake fodder radish. Methods conducted field greenhouse experiments late autumn at medium high availabilities, inflow depths ( 15 injection) in sandy loam loamy sand, using minirhizotron method rhizotrons greenhouse. Results High r...
