  • Radish History Radishes Originated in China Thousands of Years Ago and Gradually Spread West
    Radish History Radishes originated in China thousands of years ago and gradually spread west. They became an important food of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Radishes were extensively cultivated in Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs. Ancient records show that radishes were eaten before the pyramids were built. The radish did not spread throughout the rest of Europe until much later. It is documented to have been found in Germany in the 13th century, but did not reach England until 1548. Shortly after this, radishes were being grown in North America. They were growing in Mexico in the year 1565 and cultivated in Massachusetts in 1629. Today, radishes are grown in almost every state. Wisconsin-grown radishes are available throughout the fall and winter, but most radishes seen in grocery stores across the country were grown in California and Florida. Varieties There are five common radish varieties grown in the United States. The most well-known variety is the Red Globe radish. This radish is small (1-4 inches) and has red and white coloring. It is commonly eaten whole or sliced on salads. The other radishes grown in the US are the Daikon, California Mammoth White, White Icicle, and Black varieties. Fun Facts Radishes are a type of root vegetable. Radish leaves may be harvested and eaten. Ancient Greeks offered gold replicas of radishes as an offering to their god Apollo. “Radish” comes from the Latin word “radix”- meaning “root.” Most radishes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To improve storage length, cut off the leafy radish tops as they break down faster than the root.

  • Trps Et Al.: a Molecular Toolkit for Thermosensory Adaptations
    Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00424-018-2120-5 INVITED REVIEW TRPs et al.: a molecular toolkit for thermosensory adaptations Lydia J. Hoffstaetter1,2,3 & Sviatoslav N. Bagriantsev1 & Elena O. Gracheva1,2,3 Received: 27 October 2017 /Revised: 3 January 2018 /Accepted: 5 February 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The ability to sense temperature is crucial for the survival of an organism. Temperature influences all biological operations, from rates of metabolic reactions to protein folding, and broad behavioral functions, from feeding to breeding, and other seasonal activities. The evolution of specialized thermosensory adaptations has enabled animals to inhabit extreme temperature niches and to perform specific temperature-dependent behaviors. The function of sensory neurons depends on the participation of various types of ion channels. Each of the channels involved in neuronal excitability, whether through the generation of receptor potential, action potential, or the maintenance of the resting potential have temperature-dependent properties that can tune the neuron’s response to temperature stimuli. Since the function of all proteins is affected by temperature, animals need adaptations not only for detecting different temperatures, but also for maintaining sensory ability at different temperatures. A full under- standing of the molecular mechanism of thermosensation requires an investigation of all channel types at each step of thermosensory transduction. A fruitful avenue of investigation into how different molecules can contribute to the fine-tuning of temperature sensitivity is to study the specialized adaptations of various species. Given the diversity of molecular participants at each stage of sensory transduction, animals have a toolkit of channels at their disposal to adapt their thermosensitivity to their particular habitats or behavioral circumstances.

    DAIKON RADISH (Raphanus Cover Crop Information Sheet sativus) Also known as cultivated radish, radish, oilseed radish, forage radish. Radishes are commonly used in cover crop mixtures and sometimes as monocultures. If planted early, quick growth can help suppress fall-emerging weeds. In fields with high residual nitrogen and with little competition, roots can get very large and present planting problems. Because these flower early and don’t reliably winterkill, seed set can be a problem with late planted cash crops like cotton. Recommended Varieties Variety Reasons Why Source ‘Common’ VNS Available.

  • Radish - Vegetable Directory - Watch Your Garden Grow - University of Illinois Extension
    4/6/2021 Radish - Vegetable Directory - Watch Your Garden Grow - University of Illinois Extension Radish Radish is a cool-season, fast-maturing, easy-to-grow vegetable. Garden radishes can be grown wherever there is sun and moist, fertile soil, even on the smallest city lot. Early varieties usually grow best in the cool days of early spring, but some later-maturing varieties can be planted for summer use. The variety French Breakfast holds up and grows better than most early types in summer heat if water is supplied regularly. Additional sowings of spring types can begin in late summer, to mature in the cooler, more moist days of fall. Winter radishes are sown in midsummer to late summer, much as fall turnips. They are slower to develop than spring radishes; and they grow considerably larger, remain crisp longer, are usually more pungent and hold in the ground or store longer than spring varieties.
