What's the difference between brassica and brassicaceous?

Brassica


Definition:

  • (n.) A genus of plants embracing several species and varieties differing much in appearance and qualities: such as the common cabbage (B. oleracea), broccoli, cauliflowers, etc.; the wild turnip (B. campestris); the common turnip (B. rapa); the rape or coleseed (B. napus), etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Thus, although the genes involved in self-incompatibility in Brassica and Nicotiana are not homologous in their coding regions, signals for expression of these genes are apparently conserved between the two genera.
  • (2) A cDNA clone encoding a Brassica napus drought-induced 22 kDa (BnD22) protein has been isolated and characterized.
  • (3) The coding sequence of both B. napus genes are highly homologous (96% and 93% respectively) to a Brassica campestris ACP cDNA sequence, suggesting that they may have evolved from this ancestral gene.
  • (4) This is the first study in which an attempt has been made to define the inducing compounds in Brassica vegetables by feeding the individual purified glucosinolates.
  • (5) The sequence is reported of a cDNA molecule homologous to an mRNA from stigma tissue of Brassica oleracea plants homozygous for the S5 self-incompatibility allele.
  • (6) In both studies the mean plasma half-life of caffeine was reduced by approximately 20% following a Brassica diet, suggesting that Brassica vegetables stimulate caffeine metabolism.
  • (7) No binding with either toxin form could be observed with hemocytes of P. brassicae.
  • (8) The two Brassica species and R. sativa contain roughly equal amounts (12-14 kb) of cpDNA sequences integrated within their 208-242 kb mtDNAs.
  • (9) This would suggest that the duplications which gave rise to the different members occurred independently in the two groups of species after separation of Arabidopsis from the Brassica lineage.
  • (10) Antibodies were raised against the major seed apolipoproteins of Brassica napus, Sinapis alba and Raphanus sativum.
  • (11) Both protoxin and activated toxin bound to primary midgut cell cultures of Pieris brassicae larvae as well as to cells of an established culture of Drosophila melanogaster.
  • (12) The presence of a fragment of polyA resistant to both T1 and p ribonucleases in mRNAs extracted from wing imaginal disks of an insect, Pieris brassicae, is reported.
  • (13) The successful transfer of a marker gene (hpt gene) from Brassica nigra into B. napus via direct gene transfer was demonstrated.
  • (14) In ligand blotting experiments the toxin bound proteins of 120 kDa in M. sexta, 125 kDa in P. brassicae and numerous proteins in H. zea.
  • (15) Levels of indolylglucosinolates in Brassica vegetables correlated significantly with the amounts of N-nitroso compounds formed in these vegetables after nitrite treatment.
  • (16) An ATP-independent DNA topoisomerase has been isolated from chloroplasts of cauliflower leaves (Brassica oleracea var.
  • (17) These results show the development in the rhizosphere of Brassica campestris of a very active microbiological process of insoluble phosphorus mineral compounds dissolution; thus, the growing of Brassica may be expected to raise the phosphorous fertility level of the soil.
  • (18) Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase was purified from Brassica juncea leaves approximately 4000-fold, to homogeneity.
  • (19) When fused to napin regulatory sequences, the exotoxin gene specifically arrested embryo development in the seeds of transgenic Brassica napus plants concomitant with the onset of napin expression.
  • (20) Sequence analysis of the Ogura-specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragment isolated previously from Brassica cybrids carrying Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) revealed a tRNA(fMet) sequence, a putative 138 amino acid open reading frame (orf138), and a 158 amino acid ORF (orf158) previously observed in mitochondrial genomes from several other plant species.

Brassicaceous


Definition:

  • (a.) Related to, or resembling, the cabbage, or plants of the Cabbage family.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Both the mutant and the wild-type viruses infect a brassicaceous host, Brassica campestris, systemically, giving indistinguishable symptoms.
