Small radish and radish are economically important root crops that represent an integral part of a healthy human diet. The world collection of L. root crops, maintained in the VIR genebank, includes 2810 accessions from 75 countries around the world, of which 2800 (1600 small radish, 1200 radish) belong to species, three to , three to , and four to . It is necessary to systematically investigate the historical and modern gene pool of root-bearing plants of and provide new material for breeding. The material for our research was a set of small radish and radish accessions of various ecological groups and different geographical origin, fully covering the diversity of the species. The small radish subset included 149 accessions from 37 countries, belonging to 13 types of seven varieties of European and Chinese subspecies. The radish subset included 129 accessions from 21 countries, belonging to 18 types of 11 varieties of European, Chinese, and Japanese subspecies. As a result of the evaluation of accessions according to phenological, morphological, and biochemical analyses, a wide variation of these characteristics was revealed, which is due to the large genetic diversity of small radish and radish of various ecological and geographical origins. The investigation of the degree of variation regarding phenotypic and biochemical traits revealed adaptive stable and highly variable characteristics of accessions. Such insights are crucial for the establishment and further use of trait collections. Trait collections facilitate germplasm use and contribute significantly to the preservation of genetic diversity of the gene pool.

Foodborne health risks posed by antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) and pathogenic bacteria have garnered increasing global attention. However, the patterns of their propagation and reduction, as well as the resulting health risks in the human gastrointestinal tract, remain unknown. We employed leafy vegetables (water spinach), solanaceous vegetables (pepper), and root vegetables (radish) to investigate the propagation and reduction patterns of ARGs and pathogenic bacteria within an in vitro simulated digestion system.

Background: A homegarden is a conventional small-scale agricultural ecosystem dominated predominantly by humans. Homegarden plants, which are plants with specific functionalities that are either cultivated or consciously preserved within the homegarden, are the most critical elements of the homegarden and are capable of providing a multitude of products and services. Recognized as one of China's biodiversity hotspots, the Wuling mountain area has long been inhabited by multiple ethnic groups, each of which has accumulated a wealth of traditional knowledge.

The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for radishes and small radish leaves. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of propamocarb on the commodities under consideration at the validated limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.

Article Synopsis
- Microplastics, tiny pieces of plastic, are a big problem for the environment, especially in farm soils, but we don't know much about it yet.
- A study looked at how different types of microplastics affected soil and how well plants like radishes, lettuce, and Chinese cabbage grew.
- The results showed that some microplastics can harm soil, but others, like polyester microfibers, might actually help plants grow better!
Characterisation of low-level pyrasulfotole resistance and the role of herbicide translocation in wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum).

The synthetic auxin 2,4-D and the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor pyrasulfotole are phloem-mobile post-emergence herbicides, the latter applied in co-formulation with either bromoxynil (a contact herbicide causing leaf desiccation) or MCPA (another synthetic auxin). Previous studies have shown a wide range of 2,4-D translocation phenotypes in resistant populations of the agricultural weed Raphanus raphanistrum, but it was hypothesised that enhanced movement out of the apical meristem could contribute to resistance. Little is known about pyrasulfotole translocation or the effect of bromoxynil on pyrasulfotole movement.
