The radish genome database (RadishGD): an integrated information resource for radish genomics
In this study, we describe the radish genome database (RadishGD), including details of data sets that we generated and the web interface that allows access to these data. RadishGD comprises six major units that enable researchers and general users to search, browse and analyze the radish genomic data in an integrated manner. The Search unit provides gene structures and sequences for gene models through keyword or BLAST searches. The Genome browser displays graphic representations of gene models, mRNAs, repetitive sequences, genome-wide methylation and variomes among various genotypes. The Functional annotation unit offers ...

Molecules, Vol. 24, Pages 546: Phytochemical Analysis and Potential Biological Activities of Essential Oil from Rice Leaf
In this study, chemical compositions of rice leaf EO and in vitro biological activities were investigated. From 1.5 kg of fresh rice leaves, an amount of 20 mg EO was obtained by distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), electrospray ionization (ESI), and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) to reveal the presence of twelve volatile constituents, of which methyl ricinoleate (27.86%) was the principal compound, followed by palmitic acid (17.34%), and linolenic acid (11.16%), while 2-pentadecanone was the least (2.13%). Two phytoalexin momilactones A and B were first time identifie...

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 373: Zinc and Cadmium Mapping in the Apical Shoot and Hypocotyl Tissues of Radish by High-Resolution Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (NanoSIMS) after Short-Term Exposure to Metal Contamination
In this study, 17-day-old radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants grown in nutrient solution were subjected to short-term (24 h) equimolar contamination (2.2 µM of each 70Zn and Cd) to investigate their accumulation and distribution in the shoot apex (leaf primordia) and edible fleshy hypocotyl tissues. After 24-h exposure, radish hypocotyl had similar concentration (in µg/g dry weight) of 70Zn (12.1 ± 1.1) and total Cd (12.9 ± 0.8), with relatively limited translocation of both metals to shoots (concentrations lower by 2.5-fold for 70Zn and 4.8-fold for Cd) as determin...

Molecules, Vol. 24, Pages 425: Phytotoxic Effect of Invasive Heracleum mantegazzianum Essential Oil on Dicot and Monocot Species
ta Kalemba
Spreading of the plant species in new areas is supported by the hypothesis in which chemicals produced by alien species are allopathic to native plants. A novel weapon hypothesis was tested by using essential oil of dangerous alien species Heracleum mantegazzianum in laboratory conditions. Aboveground plant material was collected in south-east part of Slovakia, dried and hydrodistilled for essential oil isolation. Dominant compounds as octyl acetate (62.6%), hexyl 2-metylbutyrate (10.7%), hexyl isobutyrate (7.5%) and hexyl butyrate (6.5%) were identified by GC-MS. Potential phytotoxic activity was tested on ...

Local boron concentrations in tuberous roots of Japanese radish (Raphanus sativus L.) negatively correlate with distribution of brown heart
Publication date: Available online 2 January 2019Source: Plant Physiology and BiochemistryAuthor(s): Naoyuki Sotta, Bian Bian, Danhan Peng, Phattharawan Hongkham, Takehiro Kamiya, Satoshi Niikura, Toru FujiwaraAbstractInternal browning (or brown heart) in radish is a physiological disorder, manifested as a reddish pigmentation in the central part of the tuberous root. Boron deficiency has been known to induce brown heart, but the relationship between boron tissue concentration and the development of brown heart has not been tested. Here, we examined the relationship between these variables. Dissected root tissues of two in...

Ferulic acid pretreatment alleviates the decrease in hardness of cooked Chinese radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. longipinnatus Bailey)
This study aims to investigate the impact of ferulic acid pretreatment on the hardness of Chinese radish after cooking. Radish slices were immersed in ferulic acid solution and distilled water, respectively. The ferulic acid treated samples showed significantly higher hardness (p < 0.05) than the control samples after cooking, and could keep relatively more integrated cell wall structure after cooking at 100 °C for 30 min. Subsequently, we determined the cell wall fraction contents, sugar ratio and molecular weight distribution of different treated samples. Ferulic acid treated groups showed higher percentage ...

Transcriptome-based gene expression profiling of diploid radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and the corresponding autotetraploid.
Abstract
Polyploidy is an important evolutionary factor in most land plant lineages which possess more than two complete sets of chromosomes. Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an economically annual/biennial root vegetable crop worldwide. However, the expression patterns of duplicated homologs involved in the autopolyploidization remains unclear. In present study, the autotetraploid radish plants (2n = 4x = 36) were produced with colchicine and exhibited an increase in the size of flowers, leaves, stomata and pollen grains. The differential gene expression (DGE) profiling was performed to investigate...

Absorption and metabolism of isothiocyanates formed from broccoli glucosinolates: effects of BMI and daily consumption in a randomised clinical trial.
The objective of this study was to determine whether daily broccoli consumption alters the absorption and metabolism of isothiocyanates derived from broccoli glucosinolates. We conducted a randomised cross-over human study (n 18) balanced for BMI and glutathione S-transferase μ 1 (GSTM1) genotype in which subjects consumed a control diet with no broccoli (NB) for 16 d or the same diet with 200 g of cooked broccoli and 20 g of raw daikon radish daily for 15 d (daily broccoli, DB) and 100 g of broccoli and 10 g of daikon radish on day 16. On day 17, all subjects consumed a meal of 200 g of broccoli and 20 g of daikon radish...

Uptake and modification of umbelliferone by various seedlings
Publication date: January 2019Source: Phytochemistry, Volume 157Author(s): Tahani Hijazin, Alzahraa Radwan, Sara Abouzeid, Gerald Dräger, Dirk SelmarAbstractInspired by the recently discovered phenomenon of “horizontal natural product transfer” we investigated the putative uptake of phenolic specialized metabolites. Umbelliferone was chosen for this case study, since this coumarin as well as its derivatives can easily be determined by HPLC analyses. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L.), flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), and garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) were cultivated in...

Facile and green preparation of bioactive and UV protective silk materials using the extract from red radish (Raphanus sativus L.) through adsorption technique
This study presents a facile approach towards the preparation of bioactive and UV protective silk materials using the extract from red radish (an edible root vegetable). The adsorption mechanism of red radish extract on silk was studied. The results showed that red radish extract displayed higher exhaustion rate at lower pH. The equilibrium adsorption study indicated that the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were suitable to describe the adsorption behavior of red radish extract on silk, revealing that the ion−ion interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces play major roles in the adsorption process. The si...

Toxic effects of antimony on the seed germination and seedlings accumulation in Raphanus sativus L. radish and Brassica napus L.
This study aimed to reveal the possible toxicity of antimony (Sb) using Raphanus sativus L. Radish (radish) and Brassica napus L. (rape) seeds as the experimental materials. With Sb concentrations ranging from 2 to 100 mg/L, the seed germination and seedlings growth were investigated by calculating the germination rate, germinative energy, germination index, vitality index and root elongation. The results indicated that Sb exhibited different levels of toxicity to different plants. The low concentration of Sb increased the germination rate and germination index of rape seeds, whereas high concentrations of Sb sharply decr...
