Medicinal Plants in Natural Health Care as Phytopharmaceuticals
Published in Anil K. Sharma, Raj K. Keservani, Surya Prakash Gautam, Herbal Product Development, 2020
This plant is distributed in the Mediterranean region, Europe, Asia and South Africa. It is cultivated throughout India as a leafy vegetable, edible oil crop and spice. It has been cultivated and used from very ancient times. Its plant is glabrous with a few bristles at the base up to 1.5 m in height, basal leaves long, broadly ovate, coarsely dentate, persistent middle leaves oblong, fruits siliqua, breaking away from below upward and seeds are attached to the replum. Its seeds contain sinigrin, gluconapin, sinapin base and a volatile isothyocyanate.

Brassicaceae are very resistant to ionizing radiation (Ruiqi 1986). Consistent with this report, in this study, Brassicaceae (radish and Chinese cabbage) plants were generally resistant to radiation, although there were some differences depending on radiation type and estimated growth parameters. Li et al. (2016) suggested that sinapine, which is widely distributed in Brassicaceae, plays a radical scavenging role to protect against hydroxyl-radical-induced DNA damage. In addition, the Cucurbitaceae (melon, watermelon, and Oriental melon) plants were generally resistant to radiation, although there were some differences. Literature on the radioresistance of Cucurbitaceae plants was not available, although Cucurbitaceae plants contain a variety of phenolic compounds, such as sinapine, that scavenge free radicals (Abu-Reidah et al. 2013; Rodríguez-Pérez et al. 2013). Conversely, Japanese atractylodes (Compositae) and Poaceae (sorghum, centipede grass, wheat, rice, and naked barley) plants were highly sensitive to radiation, which will be an important experimental result for studying plant radiation resistance.
