	Brassica: Science
		He is also the founder of The Brassica Chemoprotection Laboratory, which is dedicated to studying edible plants that induce protective enzyme activity in the body and may help to prevent cancer development.
		Researchers at Brassica Protection Products are now investigating specific phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables, that may serve as weapons against cancer and other diseases.
		The Brassica Chemoprotection Laboratory is the first laboratory of its kind designed exclusively for the study of the chemoprotective properties of plants.

	Brassica Crops
		Brassicas have also been used by farmers to renovate run-down or sod-bound pastures and hayfields where conventional tillage is impractical because of rock and stone.
		Brassicas are high in dry matter digestibility at 85 to 95% which contrasts with good alfalfa, at 70%.
		Brassicas retain their nutritive value well into freezing temperatures and can be expected to be grazed in most years as late as the end of December, or even longer in coastal regions of Massachusetts.

	Brassica
		Brassicas are high quality forage if harvested before heading.
		Brassicas require good soil drainage and a soil pH should be in the range of 5.3-6.8.
		The main disorders are bloat, atypical pneumonia, nitrate poisoning, hemolytic anemia (mainly with kale), hypothydroidism, and polioencephalomalcia.

	BRASSICA
		Brassica is a genus of plants that includes mustard, cabbage, collards, bok choy, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, and turnip.
		This brassica is completely dependent on continuous cool light, or it will fail to grow at all.
		Brassica needs light that is strong in the blue (cold) wavelengths of light, rather than the red (warm) wavelengths.

	Brassica Breeding and Research - Areas of Interest
		Brassica is a genus within the Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), commonly known as the mustard family.
		Brassica napus, is thought to exist primarily through a natural cross between close relatives, the parents, B. oleracea (Cabbage, Kale, Cauliflower, Broccoli) X B.
		Brassica juncea: The center of origin is believed to be in Central Asia-Himalayas, with migration to secondary centers in India, China and the Caucasus (mountainous region of south-central Russia).

	Brassica Sprout Central
		Brassica is the Latin name for the plant family which includes Broccoli, Cabbage, Mustard, Radish and many other well known vegetables.
		Brassicas are very diverse in flavor and in the type of plants they produce.
		Also known as Pepper Grass, this spicy Brassica is, in flavor, something like Watercress and is a very fast grower which doesn't even need (and should not have) soaking.

	SJB Brassica
		In brassica crops, the most well known and obvious calcium deficiency symptom is hollow stem.
		While hollow stem is usually associated with high plant nitrogen levels, it is the reduction in calcium, boron and potassium uptake induced by high nitrogen levels that leads to cell breakdown.
		Brassica crops tend to be more prone to molybdenum deficiency when supplied nitrate nitrogen as their molybdenum requirements are higher.

	Plant Genetic Resources : Brassica Production (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Brassica genus consists of many species including napus (rutabaga and rape), oleracea (broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc.), and rapa (turnip and Chinese cabbage) to name a few.
		Most brassicas are biennials (taking 2 seasons to produce seed), and require a cold treatment (vernalization) in order to flower.
		Brassica pods need to be threshed first (we use a belt thresher but this can be done by hand threshing) and then the smaller chaff can be separated by using screens or an air column or simply by general winnowing.

	Brassica Main
		Forage brassica crops such as turnip, swede, rape, and kale can be spring-seeded to supplement the perennial cool-season pastures in August and September or summer-seeded to extend the grazing season in November and December.
		Brassicas are annual crops which are highly productive and digestible and can be grazed 80 to 150 days after seeding, depending on the species.
		When preparing a tilled seedbed for brassica planting, plow the ground several weeks before planting to allow weed seeds to germinate before secondary tillage is completed to form a firm and fine seedbed that is free of weeds.

	Brassica oleracea Genome Project
		One part of the project, in collaboration with the Cold Spring Harbor group, is to perform whole genome shotgun sequencing with a goal of reaching 0.5 - 1x coverage of the Brassica genome.
		In parallel we are fully sequencing six Brassica BAC contigs identified by O'Neill and Bancroft (The Plant Journal 23: 233, 2000) as being homeologous to a region of the Arabidopsis genome that is duplicated between chromosomes 4 and 5.
		This will permit an in-depth comparison of homeologous regions both within and between Brassica and Arabidopsis and provide a more rigorous basis for interpreting the alignments between the Brassica shotgun sequences and Arabidopsis genomic DNA.

		Wild Brassica oleracea is indigenous to the Atlantic seaboard of Europe (e.g.
		It is thought that one of the reasons it has been possible for people to produce so many vegetables from this one species is because it is geographically diverse so that there is a great genetic diversity from which one can draw favourable attributes through selective breeding.
		Brassicas contain substances called goitrins which can interfere with the body’s uptake of iodine and encourage goiter (enlargement of the thyroid) but this is only a problem in people who have a persistent iodine deficiency.

	BroccoSprouts: The Brassica Sprout Safety Program
		Brassica licenses only a limited number of growers across the country that are capable and committed to stringent food safety standards.
		Brassica has taken a proactive approach to working with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop the procedures for safe sprouting and are continuously searching for improvements.
		The Brassica Facility Compliance and Pathogen Reduction and HACCP Program: Brassica is the leader in the sprouting industry for food safety, and these programs are the most stringent in the industry which means that only a small handful of growers are capable of meeting the requirements for membership in the Brassica program.

	www.brassica.info
		As part of the Brassica GeneFlow Consortium project funded by the BBSRC and NERC under the 'Gene Flow in Plants and Microorganisms' initiative, primer and associated information was originally collated by Charlotte Allender for 618 Brassica microsatellites (including those developed and tested in Arabidopsis) currently in the public domain.
		The purpose of this web page is to provide a summary of available information for all known Brassica microsatellites, and to provide a means for information on Brassica microsatellites to be exchanged between researchers.
		This ranges from ascertaining that reproducible fragments are amplified using the PCR primers, testing the primers in single or multiple Brassica species to determine the number and sizes of the fragments produced and finally locating the position(s) of the microsatellite on a genetic map.

	Brassica’s Pest Control Role in Apple Orchards Clarified (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Biofumigation occurs when cover crops of mustard, canola, or other Brassica species decompose and release various chemical byproducts, particularly isothiocyanates, which are toxic to certain pathogens, parasitic nematodes, and insects.
		Indeed, in their studies, the scientists had to combine the amendment with postplanting applications of the fungicide mefenoxam—a real-world reminder that Brassica’s pest control abilities aren’t so easily defined.
		"Brassica's Pest Control Role in Apple Orchards Clarified" was published in the April 2006 issue of Agricultural Research magazine.
