Did You Know? Wasabi – Eutrema japonicum • Is in the Brassicaceae family, the same family as horseradish, mustard, cabbage and kale • Japanese horseradish is a common name (although it is not in the same genus as horseradish) • Prepared wasabi comes from grating the rhizome of the Eutrema japonicum plant • Most commonly sold as a dried powder or as a paste in a tube • Originated in Japan, and can be traced back to 794 CE • The condiment sold as wasabi often contains no wasabi at all, but is rather a mixture of horseradish, mustard and food coloring • Leaves, rhizomes, stems (petioles) and flowers of the wasabi plant are edible • Grate the wasabi rhizome just before serving as it loses flavor 10- 15 minutes after it has been prepared • Traditionally, the grater used to prepare wasabi was made from a piece of dry sharkskin stapled to a wooden paddle. Grating was done by pressing the rhizome onto the paddle and moved in a circular motion until a paste formed. • Studied for medicinal uses, including as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and to reduce risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancer • Is high in antioxidants, vitamin C and contains some vitamin A and iron • Wasabi grows in cool, shady conditions in temperate regions (45-70˚F), preferring high humidity during the summer months and ample water. • Wasabi requires 18 months and up to three years of growth to reach maturity • Commercially, wasabi is grown in northern Japan, parts of China, Taiwan, Korea and New Zealand. The right climate balance for successful wasabi growth can be found in North America in the rain forests on the Oregon Coast and parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee. • Wasabi has the reputation of being difficult to grow and the most successful horticulture practices are guarded secrets. ©2018 by The Herb Society of America www.herbsociety.org 440-256-0514 9019 Kirtland Chardon Road, Kirtland, OH 44094.

The Effect of Processing on the Glucosinolate Profile of Mustard Seed
The effect of processing on the glucosinolate profile of mustard seed Katherine Cools, and Terry, L.A.* Plant Science Laboratory, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL, UK. * Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (L.A. Terry) Tel.: +44-7500-766-490 Co-author e-mail address: [email protected] (K.Cools) Abstract Brassica juncea mustard seed are used to make mustard paste or condiment. Mustard seed contains glucosinolates which are converted to isothiocyanates following cell disruption by the enzyme, myrosinase. Isothiocyanates are sulphur-containing compounds which give a pungent flavour to the mustard condiment. Three mustard seed cultivars from two seasons were processed into Dijon- and wholegrain-style mustard and glucosinolates and isothiocyanates analysed. Canadian cv. Centennial tended to contain higher glucosinolates compared with the French cv. AZ147 and Ukrainian cv. Choraiva. Conversion of the mustard seed into a wholegrain condiment had less effect on total isothiocyanates and sinigrin content compared with the Dijon preparation. The Canadian mustard cultivars produced wholegrain-style mustard with higher total isothyocyantes and sinigrin compared with the French and Ukrainian cultivars. In summary, results herein suggest that Canadian mustard seed cvs. Centennial and and Forge, and wholegrain processing may result in a condiment with greater bioactive composition. Keywords: Brassica juncea, condiment, cultivar, isothiocyanate, sinigrin. 1 1. INTRODUCTION Brassica juncea L. (syn. Sinapis juncea L.) is a hydrid between B. rapa and B. nigra giving it the characteristics of rapid growth from B. rapa and the mustard oil of B. nigra. There are two forms of B. juncea; the oilseed type and the vegetable type which is used for its edible leaves, stems and roots (Dixon, 2007).

By introducing 18 mutagenized rice GID1s into a rice angiosperm GID1s: namely, lower affinity to bioactive GAs and gid1 null mutant, we identified the amino acids crucial for higher affinity to inactive GAs (lower specificity).

PhytoKeys 76: 13–21. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.76.9731 Abstract The paper reports Eutrema salsugineum as a novelty to the flora of Mexico and Middle America in general. The finding stands ca. 1600 km apart from the closest known locality in the Rocky Mountains of Colora- do, USA. The species is considered native to NW Mexico and its late discovery in the region is presumably explained by its tiny habit, early flowering time, and subephemeral life cycle. The phylogenetic position of this Mexican population in a haplotype network based on the chloroplast DNA fragment psbA-trnH confirms this hypothesis and also suggests, in contrast to the previously held viewpoint, multiple coloniza- tions of North American continent from Asia.
