properties of ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase (carboxydismutase) from chinese cabbage and photosynthetic microorganisms.	ribulose-1,5-diphosphate carboxylase (carboxydismutase) was prepared from chinese cabbage [brassica petsai (parl)] and the k(m) values and molecular weight were determined. these parameters were found to be in good agreement with values reported for this enzyme from other higher plants. investigation of carboxydismutase activity from the photosynthetic micro-organisms chlamydomonas reinhardi (iu 89+), plectonema boryanum (iu 594), and chromatium strain d showed striking similarity to the higher ...	1968	5700019
electron microscopy of leaves infected with sowbane mosaic virus and other small polyhedral viruses.	leaves of chenopodium amaranticolor were infected with sowbane mosaic virus (smv), sectioned and examined by electron microscopy. leaves of brassica pekinensis and c. amaranticolor were infected with turnip yellow mosaic virus and cowpea mosaic virus, respectively, and similarly studied. with all three viruses it was difficult, in sections, to distinguish the small isometric virus particles from ribosomes though sometimes this was possible, especially when the viruses crystallized. pretreatment ...	1967	18614059

relations of fine-root morphology on (137)cs uptake by fourteen brassica species.	fourteen brassica species consisting of seven leafy vegetables and seven root vegetables were examined for (137)cs uptake differences in relation to their fine-root morphological characters. a pot experiment was conducted from november 2014 to february 2015 in a phytroton using a contaminated soil of fukushima prefecture. leafy vegetables showed bigger root diameters, larger root surface area and larger root volume. consequently, leafy vegetables had higher (137)cs uptake compared to root vegeta ...	0	26355648
cadmium contamination of soil and crops is affected by intercropping and rotation systems in the lower reaches of the minjiang river in south-western china.	cadmium (cd) accumulation and pollution in arable soils are particularly serious in the lower reaches of the minjiang river in southwest of china. in this study, the remediation efficiency of cd contamination in arable soils, the distribution pattern of cd concentration in crops, and the food safety to humans of three typical cropping systems (s1: maize + sweet potato-chinese cabbage, s2: maize + ginger-stem mustard, and s3: rice) were investigated and evaluated. after 1-year rotation, the perce ...	0	26323960
temperature determines size and direction of effects of elevated co2 and nitrogen form on yield quantity and quality of chinese cabbage.	rising atmospheric co2 concentrations (e[co2 ]) are presumed to have a significant impact on plant growth and yield and also on mineral nutrient composition, and therefore, on nutritional quality of crops and vegetables. to assess the relevance of these effects in future agroecosystems it is important to understand how e[co2 ] interacts with other environmental factors. in the present study, we examined the interactive effects of e[co2 ] with temperature and the form in which nitrogen is supplie ...	0	26390257
in vitro assessment of cadmium bioavailability in chinese cabbage grown on different soils and its toxic effects on human health.	the minimum concentration of cadmium (cd), by chinese cabbage grown on cd contaminated soils that can initiate toxicity in human liver cells using in vitro digestion coupled with caco-2/hl-7702 cell models was studied. cadmium bioaccessibility in the gastric phase for yellow soil (ys) cabbage (40.84%) and calcareous soil (cs) cabbage (21.54%) was significantly higher than small intestinal phase with the corresponding values of 21.2% and 11.11%, respectively. cadmium bioavailability was higher in ...	0	26167479
root growth and nitrate-nitrogen leaching of catch crops following spring wheat.	growing nitrogen (n) catch crops can reduce no(3)-n leaching after cultivating cereals. the objective of this study was to relate no(3)-n leaching to variation in the uptake of n and the size and distribution of the root systems of different catch crops species. in a 3-yr lysimeter experiment, phacelia (phacelia tanacetifolia benth.), sunflower (helianthus annuus l.), and a brassica species (yellow mustard [brassica alba l.] or a hybrid of turnip rape [b. rapa l. spp. oleifera (dc.) metzg.] and ...	0	20400580
cultivar-specific changes in primary and secondary metabolites in pak choi (brassica rapa, chinensis group) by methyl jasmonate.	glucosinolates, their hydrolysis products and primary metabolites were analyzed in five pak choi cultivars to determine the effect of methyl jasmonate (meja) on metabolite flux from primary metabolites to glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products. among detected glucosinolates (total 14 glucosinolates; 9 aliphatic, 4 indole and 1 aromatic glucosinolates), indole glucosinolate concentrations (153-229%) and their hydrolysis products increased with meja treatment. changes in the total isothiocya ...	0	28481284
simulating the transfer of strontium-90 from soil to leafy vegetables by using strontium-88.	the transfer, from soil to chinese cabbage and spinach, of radioactive strontium-90 released as a result of accidents in nuclear power stations was studied using a stable isotope of strontium, namely nuclide strontium-88 ((88)sr). the study led to an experimental model for assessing the hazard of radionuclide strontium-90 ((90)sr) entering the food chain and for predicting the risk to food safety. chinese cabbage and spinach were grown in pots in a greenhouse and irrigated with deionized water c ...	0	27829691
the green peach aphid myzus persicae perform better on pre-infested chinese cabbage brassica pekinensis by enhancing host plant nutritional quality.	the green peach aphid, myzus persicae sulzer, is a notorious pest on vegetables, which often aggregates in high densities on crop leaves. in this study, we investigated whether m. persicae could suppress the resistance level of chinese cabbage brassica pekinensis. m. persicae performed better in terms of weight gain (~33% increase) and population growth (~110% increase) when feeding on previously infested (pre-infested) chinese cabbage compared with those on non-infested plants. however, when gi ...	0	26905564
composite of pah-degrading endophytic bacteria reduces contamination and health risks caused by pahs in vegetables.	vegetables accumulate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) at high concentrations when grown in contaminated sites. inoculation with pah-degrading endophytic bacteria (ebpah) has been recognized as one of the most promising ways to remove pahs from plant bodies; however, the performance of single endophytic bacteria is generally limited. this investigation used a composite of eight ebpah to reduce the contamination and health risk posed by 16 epa priority pahs in vegetables including chinese ...	0	28448936
the accumulation and health risk of heavy metals in vegetables around a zinc smelter in northeastern china.	mining and smelting activities engender soil contamination by metals severely. a field survey was conducted to investigate the present situation and health risk of heavy metals (cd, pb, zn, cu, cr, as, and hg) in soils and vegetables in the surrounding area of an 80-year-old zinc smelter in northeastern china. soil ph, organic matter (som), and cation exchange capacity (cec) were determined, and their relations with heavy metal contents in edible parts of vegetables were analyzed. results showed ...	0	27679998
a field study on the dynamic uptake and transfer of heavy metals in chinese cabbage and radish in weak alkaline soils.	vegetables and crops can take up heavy metals when grown on polluted lands. the concentrations and dynamic uptake of heavy metals vary at different growth points for different vegetables. in order to assess the safe consumption of vegetables in weak alkaline farmlands, chinese cabbage and radish were planted on the farmlands of baiyin (polluted site) and liujiaxia (relatively unpolluted site). firstly, the growth processes of two vegetables were recorded. the growth curves of the two vegetables ...	0	27473619
ethanol extract of brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis suppresses tumor necrosis factor-α-induced inflammatory response in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.	brassica rapa l. ssp. pekinensis, commonly known as chinese cabbage, is a cruciferous vegetable traditionally consumed in east asia. although its habitual consumption could account for the low incidence of chronic vascular inflammation, the therapeutic and protective potential of phytochemicals derived from chinese cabbage has been poorly studied. in this study, we identified the phenolic compounds, kaempferol and quercetin, from the ethanol extract of chinese cabbage (etcc). we show for the fir ...	0	28504909
