Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are of a class of emerging contaminants. In this study, the accumulation of 4-bromodiphenyl ether (BDE-3) by different parts of a live white radish was investigated. Different cultural media (hydroponics, silica sand, and soil) were used to sustain the radish plant during its uptake and in-plant translocation of BDE-3. The results showed that BDE-3 can be translocated from the roots to the aboveground organs and the accumulated levels of BDE-3 in different parts of the white radish followed the order for the three types of cultivation: fibrous roots > peels > main roots > leaves. The results were analyzed by the aid of the partition-limited model for the plant uptake. The relevant partition coefficients (K and K) and uptake parameters of BDE-3 with plant components (K and K) were obtained for analyzing the BDE-3 distribution. The partition-limited model offers a significant insight into the uptakes of BDE-3 by the various components of live white radishes. The types of cultivation affected the total sorption level, translocation factors (TFs), extent to equilibrium (α), and root concentration factors (RCFs).

Brassica microgreens are rich in bioactive compounds, whose concentrations are influenced by environmental and cultivation conditions. This study evaluates the impact of different substrates and fertigation treatments, including sulfur, on the yield, morphology, and phytochemical profile of radish, red cabbage, white mustard, and red mizuna microgreens. Phytochemicals analyzed included total phenolic compounds (TPC), ascorbic acid (AA), and glucosinolates.

In this protocol for obtaining doubled haploids plants (DH), we propose a new method for microspore isolation. This method is useful for genotypes of the Brassicaceae family with low responsiveness to DH technology. For such crops, it allows increasing the embryo yield several times and sometimes obtaining embryos for the first time.

The preprocessing stage is crucial in vegetable processing, significantly influencing the final product's quality. This study investigates the effects of various pre-pre-treatment methods, including cutting, blanching, osmotic, and ultrasound-assisted osmotic treatment, on the quality characteristics, water migration, and microstructure of white radish. The results showed that osmosis and ultrasound-assisted osmosis has the least effect on the total color difference (ΔE) and the greatest water loss (WL) ( < 0.

The microgravity conditions experienced in space prevent the proper distribution of water throughout root modules of plant growth hardware, and the lack of convective mixing and buoyancy reduces gas exchange. To overcome this problem, cultivation technologies should be designed that take advantage of the unique traits of the spaceflight environment instead of attempting to recreate Earth-like conditions. Such technologies should be adaptable to both the microgravity of spaceflight and the low gravity environments of the lunar and Martian surface.

The widespread utilization of antibiotics in livestock has promoted the accumulation and diffusion of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in agricultural soils and crops. Here we investigated the mechanisms of antibiotic uptake and accumulation in swine wastewater (SW)-treated radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and subsequent impacts on endophyte antibiotic resistance.
