references to the mustard bath, pack and poultice, etc. As such references, however, are scattered throughout the large field of medical literature, and as fresh suggestions for the therapeutic uses of mustard are frequently being published, there seems reason to believe that an article in which the known medical applications of mustard are collated may be of value to the prescriber. It is gene...

This study compared the nutritional value of canola (B. napa) and mustard (B. hirta) press cakes obtained from the biodiesel industry as ingredients for use in diets fed to broiler chickens. A total of 210, one-day old, male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments. The control diet was based on wheat and soybean meal and contained 15% canola meal. For the experi...

The reaction products formed by reacting deoxyguanosine with phosphoramide mustard at pH 7.4 have been analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and Schiff's reaction. The adducts consisted of five fractions of phosphoramide mustard-imidazole ring-opened deoxyguanosine complexes and one fraction of each of intact phosphoramide mustard-deoxyguanosine and phosphoramide mustard-dideoxygua...

The paper presents a real-time PCR method allowing the simultaneous detection of traces of black mustard (Brassica nigra) and brown mustard (Brassica juncea) in food. The primers and the probe target the B. nigra partial RT gene for reverse transcriptase from gypsy-like retroelement 13G42-26. The real-time PCR method does not show any cross-reactivity with other Brassicaceae species with the ex...

Presently, chemical control is the most used method for plant protection. However, it not an approach that environmentally sustainable. Alternative IPM methods include biological such as Allelopathy can be a good alternative in protection.Allelopathy defined direct or indirect interaction, whereby allelochemicals released by one organism influence physiological processes of other neighboring or...

A field experiment was conducted during 2018–19 and 2019–20 at the research farm of ICAR-Directorate Rapeseed-Mustard Research, Bharatpur, Rajasthan to evaluate effect organic inorganic nitrogen sources on yield, water productivity, system productivity economics maize (Zea mays L.)-mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] cropping system. The in split-plot design with recommended levels fertilizer...

BACKGROUND Iraq used chemical weapons against thousands of Iranian militaries and civilians. This study aimed to compare the chronic cutaneous side effects of exposure to sulfur mustard (SM) with nerve agents (NA). METHODS The study enrolled 154 SM exposed cases and 175 (NA) exposed cases. Presence of any late cutaneous manifestations was evaluated by a dermatologist via prior history of acut...

Selenocyanate (SeCN(-)) is a major contaminant in the effluents from some oil refineries, power plants, and in mine drainage water. In this study, we determined the potential of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) and muskgrass (a macroalga, Chara canescens) for SeCN(-) phytoremediation in upland and wetland situations, respectively. The tolerance of Indian mustard to toxic levels of SeCN(-) was s...

To the Editor: Approximately 5% of young children and 4% of adults have some type of adverse immune responses to foods in westernized countries. Mustard is a widely consumed spice that can trigger life-threatening IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Mustard is frequently consumed as a hidden allergen in foods, resulting in unexpected allergic reactions. It has been reported that more than 50% of p...
