We grew various Brassica crops under field conditions in 2012 and 2013 and analyzed 8 essential minerals from edible tissues of those crops. Among the investigated crops, pak choi (Brassica rapa), mustard greens (B. juncea; B. nigra), and komatsuna (B. rapa) were generally high in most minerals, according to dry weight-based concentrations. The percentage recommended daily intake (RDA) or adequate intake (AI) values, calculated using fresh weight-based concentrations, suggest that Brassica vegetables are a good source of iron, calcium, and manganese, providing > 20% of %RDA/AI depending on crop. Kale (B. oleracea; B. napus) was generally higher in %RDA/AI, in particular for calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), magnesium (Mg), and manganese (Mn).

Owis Department of Pharmacognosy, Beni-Suef University, Beni-Suef,Egypt Telephone: +202-01202500017 Abstract Context: Plants are nature′s blessing to mankind to make malady free sound life, and assume an essential part to protect our wellbeing. Broccoli - Brassica oleracea L.var. italica Plenk (Brassicaceae) - is considered as a nutritional powerhouse. The present review comprises the phytochemical and therapeutic potential of broccoli. Objective: This aim of this review to collect results obtained from various studies in order to spot more light towards the surprising green world of broccoli. In addition to, a number of recommendations that will help to secure a more sound „proof- of-concept‟ to complete the whole picture providing significant information could be used as a dietary guideline that encourage broccoli consumption for the management of various diseases. Methods: This review has been compiled using references from major databases such as Chemical Abstracts, ScienceDirect, SciFinder, PubMed, Henriette′s Herbal Homepage and Google scholars Databases. Results: An extensive survey of literature revealed that broccoli is a good source of health promoting compounds such as glucosinolates, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids and vitamins. Moreover, broccoli is the kind of nutrient that has so many wonderful applications including gastroprotective, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. Conclusion: There are still missing areas need further in-depth investigation such as effect of broccoli on central nervous system.

  • Brussels Sprout
    Brussels Sprout Introduction: At this club in October 2011 Dick Turvey told us that he believed that growing Brussels Sprouts was an easier way for two people to eat cabbage greens than growing cabbages. He planted seedlings in the first week of October, November and December for succession and claimed “Maxim” was the best variety. My own experience has been that they are at least as easy to grow as cabbages and provide a more continuous yield. We can pick what we need for a meal rather than picking a whole cabbage and a brussels sprout crops over a longer period than a cabbage. Growing: You can have Brussels Sprouts virtually all year round in Dunedin (apart for the hungry gap between October and December). Plant seedlings as soon as growth starts in the spring (September-October) for the summer and autumn and again in January for winter and early spring. They should be 30cm apart in rows that are 60 cm apart. We grow six plants in Spring and six in January. Like all the cabbage family they grow fastest if you have lots of nitrogen in the soil. They grow in temperatures of 7 – 24 ⁰ C with highest yields at 15 – 18 ⁰ C and home gardeners have an advantage over commercial growers in that you can harvest them over many weeks and they are not affected by freezing temperatures – some say it even enhances the flavour. They are part of the cabbage family and so put them in the same plot as Broccoli, cabbage & Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, radish, swede, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, radish and rocket.

  • Breeding, Genetics and Models
    2 BREEDING, GENETICS AND MODELS The classic triangle of U (1935) (Fig. 1.2) shows the inter-relationships of brassicas based on their chromosome numbers and 2n genome descriptors. These species can be inter-crossed using embryo rescue, fusion and other methods. In addition, massive opportunities are emerging from studies of model brassicas such as thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) and Wisconsin Fast PlantsTM that identify genes and their products which can be applied in crop species. Further, some breeders are now working with the less well known species in Brassicaceae, such a Brassica carinata, to extract valuable genes for resistance to pathogens, pests and other economic characters. The Brassicaceae is one of the most flexible plant families in terms of interspecifc and intergenomic crosses. Rapid progress is being made in our understanding of their component genes, genomic interactions, protein products and resultant phenotypic characteristics, leading eventually to even wider and more diverse crosses. Concurrently, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and linkage maps are being made for most of the major species, and these have shown many common chromosome linkage groups occurring across these species. This is encouraging the research into the potential of single gene transfer into economic crops from the model types. GENOMIC CHARACTERS AND TAXONOMY The following six Brassica species, plus Raphanus sativus, radish 2n = 18, have been inter-crossed, with varying levels of difficulty requiring embryo culture or fusion to obtain hybrids: Brassica nigra Koch, black mustard, 2n = 16; Brassica carinata Braun, Ethiopian mustard, 2n = 34; Brassica juncea L. Coss, brown mustard, 2n = 36; Brassica napus, swede or rutabaga, rape or oilseed rape (canola) 2n = 38; Brassica rapa, turnip and Chinese cabbage, 2n = 20; and Brassica oleracea, cole crops, 2n = 18.

  • 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.

Myers Oregon State University Outcrossing Potential for Brassica Species and Implications for Vegetable Crucifer Seed Crops of Growing Oilseed Brassicas in the Willamette Valley James R. Myers Summary The oilseed mustards known as canola or rapeseed (Brassica napus and B. rapa) are the same species as some vegetable crucifers and are so closely related to others that interspecific and intergeneric crossing can occur. Intraspecific crosses (within the same species) readily occur among the following: • B. napus canola with rutabaga and Siberian kale • B. rapa canola with Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, pai-tsai, broccoli raab, and turnip Interspecific crosses (between different species) can occur among the following: • Occur readily: B. napus canola with Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, pai-tsai, broccoli raab, and turnip • Occur more rarely: B. napus or B. rapa canola with the B. oleracea cole crops (cabbage, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, collards, and kale) Intergeneric crosses (between species of different genera) are possible with varying degrees of probability: • B. napus or B. rapa canola with wild and cultivated radish (Raphanus raphanis- trum and R.
