Summary: Differential gene expression between spontaneous tumors and lateral roots in radish reveals upregulation of genes associated with cell division and growth in the tumor tissue, while downregulation of genes involved in stress response and wound healing. This data aids in understanding the mechanisms of spontaneous tumor development in higher plants.

Summary: RsGSTF12 plays a critical role in anthocyanin sequestration in radish, and it has been demonstrated to improve the water solubility of anthocyanins. Transient expression of RsGSTF12 in radish and functional complementation experiments in Arabidopsis thaliana mutant and wild type provide evidence for its function.

Summary: This study comprehensively analyzed primary and secondary metabolites in the roots of white and green radishes. The levels of amino acids and phenolic acids were higher in green radishes, while slightly higher levels of glucosinolates were observed in white radishes. Glutamic acid was positively correlated with other amino acids and chlorophylls, while phenylalanine was positively correlated with phenolic compounds. Strong positive correlations were also observed between carbohydrates and phenolics.

Summary: Raphanus sativus, commonly known as radish, is a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals, with leaves and sprouts being high in concentrated nutrients and suitable for inclusion in a healthy diet. Meanwhile, roots can be explored for the development of nutraceuticals due to their richness in non-flavonoid polyphenols, terpenes and derivatives, as well as glucosinolates.

Summary: The overexpression of CLE41 peptide results in increased cell division and inhibition of xylem differentiation in roots. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of genes associated with late embryogenesis, abscisic acid response, and auxin-dependent xylem cell fate determination in roots with CLE41 overexpression. Downregulation of stress-associated genes and genes involved in xylem specification was also observed. Unexpectedly, none of the well-known TDIF target genes were identified as differentially expressed genes in this experiment.

Summary: This study successfully created new forms of Raphanus sativus adapted to controlled environments with artificial lighting. By using accelerated transgressive plant breeding, these new forms possessed valuable characteristics such as resistance to bolting, glabrous leaves, and compact leaf rosette. The yield of roots for these new forms ranged from 4.30-4.98 kg/m(2) for small radish and 5.46-7.66 kg/m(2) for radish. The breeding of these new genotypes aims to expand the range of crops cultivated in plant factories, providing better and more balanced nutrition for the population.

Summary: This study investigated the metabolites and gene expression patterns involved in dark red taproot color formation in radish. The findings suggest that pelargonin and pelargonidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside are the main pigments responsible for the coloration, and most genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis are up-regulated in dark red taproots. The coexpression of RsMYB1 and RsMYB2 transcription factors may contribute to the formation of dark red color. This work provides valuable insights for breeding anthocyanin-rich radish.

Summary: This research evaluated the bruise susceptibility of newly harvested white radishes in various impact scenarios using finite element analysis and response surface methodology. The accurate form of the white radish was obtained through reverse engineering, and a two-layer material finite element model was created to simulate the collisions. The empirical model established through response surface analysis can predict the bruising susceptibility of white radish. The findings suggest that this model can describe the susceptibility of white radish to bruising under specific impact scenarios.

Summary: Solid tumors are difficult to surgically remove and often do not respond to radiation and chemotherapy. This study fabricated ginsenoside Rg3 nanoparticles and evaluated their antitumor effect in mice. The results showed that Rg3-NPs were more effective than regular Rg3 in reducing tumor weight and size, and the effect was dose-dependent. The fabrication of Rg3-NPs enhanced the protective effect against tumor development.

Summary: This study aimed to develop biological compounds using linoleic acid extracted from melon seed oil, and to treat fried oils using melon seed cake ash. Eight active compounds were developed and their structures were determined. These compounds showed antibacterial activity. Melon seed oil was rich in linoleic acid (61.4%) and other fatty acids. Linoleic acid had high refractive index, iodine value, saponification, while having low peroxide value, polymer content, polar contents, and moisture content. Melon seed ash contained various metals and improved the physicochemical properties of fried oils. Linoleic acid was used to develop 9 compounds with antimicrobial activity, and melon seed ash improved the chemical characteristics of used cotton and sunflower oils.

In 2020, 60.9% of the samples were contaminated with Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and/or enniatin, compared to 34.4% in 2021. AFB1 was only detected in 2020 in the continental region, with all samples exceeding limits. Enniatins were detected in both pre-storage and stored wheat samples, as well as samples collected from the field.
