  • Turnip & Rutabaga
    Turnip & Rutabaga Rutabagas and turnips are closely related root vegetables. Rutabagas are larger, denser, and sweeter with yellow flesh, while turnips are smaller and white with purple, red or green around the top. Both are a great source of vitamins and nutrients, and are inexpensive winter vegetables. Both the root and the greens are edible and delicious. Cooking Tips Rutabagas and turnips are great sautéed, steamed, boiled, and roasted. Both should be peeled using a vegetable peeler or knife before cooking. Rutabagas are a great substitute for potatoes, and turnips can be used in place of carrots or parsnips. Fresh turnip greens can be cooked like spinach. Rutabaga Storage Store in a cool dry place up to 1 week, or wrap loosely in plastic and store in refrigerator crisper drawer for 3-4 weeks. Large rutabagas are often coated with food-safe wax to prolong shelf life: Turnips simply remove wax with the peel before using. Quick Shepherd’s Pie Ingredients: • 1 lb rutabaga or turnip (or both) • ¼ cup low-fat milk • 2 tbsp butter • ½ tsp salt • ½ tsp pepper • 1 tbsp oil (olive or vegetable) • 1 lb ground lamb or beef • 1 medium onion, finely chopped • 3-4 carrots, chopped (about 2 cups) • 3 tbsp oregano • 3 tbsp flour • 14 oz chicken broth (reduced sodium is best) • 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen) Directions: 1. Chop the rutabaga/turnip into one inch cubes. 2. Steam or boil for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. 3. Mash with butter, milk, and salt and pepper. Cover and set aside. 4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Improving the Root Vegetables
    IMPROVING THE ROOT VEGETABLES C. F. PooLE, Cytologist, Division of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant industry LJlD the ancient civilizations arise in the regions where our common cultivated food plants originated and were naturally abundant? Or did man take food plants with him, so that the early centers of civili- zation only seem to be the centers of origin of the plants? This must remain an interesting subject of speculation, but few students doubt that civilization was dependent on the natural locations of the plants. At any rate, the regions that are now believed to be the natural centers of origin of the root vegetables (40, 4^)/ which were used as food long before recorded history, include practically all of the centers of the oldest civilizations. The present belief is that in the Old World there were six of these, with five of which we are here concerned, and in the New World two major and two minor centers, all of which produced valuable root vegetables: (1) Central and western China—radish, turnip, taro (dasheen). (2) India (except northwestern India)—taro. (3) Middle Asia (Punjab and Kashmir)—turnip, rutabaga, radish, carrot. (4) Near Asia—turnip (secondary center), beet, carrot. (5) The Mediterranean—turnip, rutabaga, beet, parsnip, salsify. (6) Ethiopia—no root vegetables. (7) Mexico—swectpotato. (8) South America (major)—taro, potato. (8a) Chile—potato. (8b) Brazil-Paraguay—cassava. The theory is that the place where a plant exhibits the greatest diversity of subspecies and varieties in its natural state must have been a center of origin of that plant.

  • Black Leg, Light Leaf Spot and White Leaf Spot in Crucifers
    A CLINIC CLOSE-UP Black Leg, Light Leaf Spot, and White Leaf Spot in Western Oregon Oregon State University Extension Service January 2016 A number of foliar fungal diseases can affect crucifer crops. Three fungal pathogens have emerged recently in western Oregon where epidemics of black leg, light leaf spot, and white leaf spot have been occurring since 2014. Black leg has been detected sporadically in Oregon since the 1970’s but historically black leg has caused significant problems wherever crucifers were grown. Crucifer seed rules have been in place within Oregon, Washington, and other markets to protect crucifer crops from black leg. Light leaf spot is new to North America, but has been reported in other regions of the world where it is known to cause significant seed yield losses of winter oilseed rape. Light leaf spot and black leg can both result in reduced yields or quality, depending on disease incidence and severity in vegetable and seed fields. White leaf spot has been previously reported in the US, but management has not normally been needed except in the southeastern US. White leaf spot may be less of an economic threat to crucifer production in the Pacific Northwest, compared to the risks from black leg and light leaf spot. The complete host range for these three diseases is not known at this time but it is likely that all Brassica and Raphanus crops grown in the Pacific Northwest are susceptible to some degree. These three diseases may be found on volunteer Brassica, Raphanus, and Sinapis species as well as crucifer weed species including little bittercress (Cardamine oligosperma), western yellowcress (Rorippa curvisiliqua), field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense), wild radish (Raphanus sativus), shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officinale), and field mustard or birdsrape mustard (Brassica rapa var.

  • Remarks on Brassica
    International Journal of AgriScience Vol. 3(6): 453-480, June 2013 www.inacj.com ISSN: 2228-6322© International Academic Journals The wild and the grown – remarks on Brassica Hammer K.¹*, Gladis Th.¹ , Laghetti G.² , Pignone D.² ¹Former Institute of Crop Science, University of Kassel, Witzenhausen, Germany. * Author for correspondence (email: [email protected]) ²CNR – Institute of Plant Genetics, Bari, Italy. Received mmmm yyyy; accepted in revised form mmmmm yyyy ABSTRACT Brassica is a genus of the Cruciferae (Brassicaceae). The wild races are concentrated in the Mediterranean area with one species in CE Africa (Brassica somaliensis Hedge et A. Miller) and several weedy races reaching E Asia. Amphidiploid evolution is characteristic for the genus. The diploid species Brassica nigra (L.) Koch (n = 8), Brassica rapa L. emend. Metzg. (n = 10, syn.: B. campestris L.) and Brassica oleracea L. (n = 9) all show a rich variation under domestication. From the naturally occurring amphidiploids Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. (n = 18), Brassica napus L. emend. Metzg. (n = 19) and the rare Brassica carinata A. Braun (n = 17) also some vegetable races have developed. The man-made Brassica ×harmsiana O.E. Schulz (Brassica oleracea × Brassica rapa, n = 29, n = 39), or similar hybrids, serve also for the development of new vegetables. Brassica tournefortii Gouan (n = 10) from another Brassica- cytodeme, different from the Brassica rapa group, is occasionally grown as a vegetable in India. Brassica has developed two hotspots under cultivation, in the Mediterranean area and in E Asia. Cultivation by man has changed the different Brassica species in a characteristic way. The large amount of morphologic variation, which exceeded in many cases variations occurring in distinct wild species, has been observed by the classical botanists by adding these variations to their natural species by using Greek letters.

  • Brassica Spp.) – 151
    II.3. BRASSICA CROPS (BRASSICA SPP.) – 151 Chapter 3. Brassica crops (Brassica spp.) This chapter deals with the biology of Brassica species which comprise oilseed rape, turnip rape, mustards, cabbages and other oilseed crops. The chapter contains information for use during the risk/safety regulatory assessment of genetically engineered varieties intended to be grown in the environment (biosafety). It includes elements of taxonomy for a range of Brassica species, their centres of origin and distribution, reproductive biology, genetics, hybridisation and introgression, crop production, interactions with other organisms, pests and pathogens, breeding methods and biotechnological developments, and an annex on common pathogens and pests. The OECD gratefully acknowledges the contribution of Dr. R.K. Downey (Canada), the primary author, without whom this chapter could not have been written. The chapter was prepared by the OECD Working Group on the Harmonisation of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology, with Canada as the lead country. It updates and completes the original publication on the biology of Brassica napus issued in 1997, and was initially issued in December 2012. Data from USDA Foreign Agricultural Service and FAOSTAT have been updated. SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF TRANSGENIC ORGANISMS: OECD CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS, VOLUME 5 © OECD 2016 152 – II.3. BRASSICA CROPS (BRASSICA SPP.) Introduction The plants within the family Brassicaceae constitute one of the world’s most economically important plant groups. They range from noxious weeds to leaf and root vegetables to oilseed and condiment crops. The cole vegetables are perhaps the best known group. Indeed, the Brassica vegetables are a dietary staple in every part of the world with the possible exception of the tropics.
