Brassicales Vaughan and Whitehouse (1971) suggest that Brassicaceae differ from Capparaceae (inc. Cleomaceae) in that the latter have a testa that is only two (not three) cell layers thick, a persistent tegmen (rare) and a thicker endosperm (1 cell layer thick). Genera in Brassicaceae were in the past often based on fruit and embryo differences and their limits are often unsatisfactory, and there has been parallel or convergent evolution of just about all the morphological features used to distinguish genera (Koch 2003; Al-Shehbaz et al. Brassicaceae have tryphine, in which some constituents of the disorganised tapetal cells are still visible, covering the pollen grains, not pollenkitt, as in other angiosperms (Pacini and Hesse 2005), although details of the distribution of this feature are unclear. www.mobot.org /MOBOT/Research/APweb/orders/brassicalesweb.htm   (0 words)

From woad warriors to cancer-buster - health - 14 August 2006 - New Scientist It is a highly reactive chemical and at least one of its by-products, indole-3-carbonyl, is a well known tumour-busting compound. But the exact fate of GBS in the diet has been difficult to determine because such studies would require large samples of the pure compound and it is difficult and expensive to purify or synthesise. Although woad is a Brassicaceae member and was known to contain GBS, it was not an obvious source of the chemical. www.newscientist.com /article/dn9735-from-woad-warriors-to-cancerbuster.html   (0 words)

Brassicaceae Page The Texas flora includes 46 genera and 123 species and, in terms of species diveristy, this family ranks as number 6 in Texas. The stamens are often tetradynamous and the fruit is a bilocular capsule that appears to be derived, like other floral whorls, from a four-parted ancestry that followed an evolutionary path similar to that depicted (redrawn from G.

Brassicaceae (Cruciferae)   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Even the name "Cruciferae" indicates its importance, for the International Code of Plant Nomenclature makes a rare exception in permitting the continued use of the well-known name for the family. Brassicaceae is the name that fully complies with the Code. The family members' flowers are in the form of a cross, with four petals, usually white, yellow, or lavender, and an equal number of sepals. www.pmf.ukim.edu.mk /bbogdanov/glucosinolates/webB1.htm   (329 words)

BRASSICACEAE For accurate identification of members of the Brassicaceae, it is almost essential to have mature fruit. These fruits are distinctive because the outer walls of the ovary usually fall off at maturity, leaving behind the internal wall, known as the replum. Long after the Brassicaceae had been recognized as a distinct group, it was discovered that nearly all its members produce an unusual group of compounds, isothiocyanates. herbarium.usu.edu /taxa/brassicaceae.htm   (511 words)

Fuentes   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The mustard family (Brassicaceae sensu stricto or Cruciferae) includes about 340 genera and ca 3,350 species of worldwide distribution. Nevertheless, the intra-family classification has been a continued source of controversy, on of the most important reason of this disagreement is that such classifications were based on one or few morphological characters. Indeed, molecular studies reveal that Brassicaceae is fraught with taxonomic problems related to an under-developed understanding of character evolution and generic delimitations. www.umsl.edu /services/kellogg/people/fuentes.html   (288 words)

Brassicaceae Information Agricultural plants in the mustard family are also known as cole crops; cole comes from the Latin word caulis (stem), as does the German Kohl. Other well known members of the Brassicaceae include rapeseed (canola and others), mustard, horseradish, wasabi and watercress. The family was formerly named Cruciferae ("cross-bearing"), because the four petals of their flowers are reminiscent of crosses. www.bookrags.com /wiki/Brassicaceae   (372 words)
