Commercially prepared meals (solvent-extracted) made from yellow mustard (Brassica hirta), Yellow Sarson (B. campestris), Tower rapeseed (B. napus) and soybean were compared in palatability preference trials with mice. Meals treated with aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and ferrous sulphate, followed by autoclaving and drying, were also tested. The effects of processing treatments on glucosinolate levels in the meal and on amino acid composition were assessed and the more promising treatments were subjected to feeding and digestibility tests with mice or swine. Sodium carbonate at 3.8% by weight of the meal was more effective than lower levels for improving palatability. Over 85% of the glucosinolates were destroyed by any level of sodium carbonate including the zero level, indicating that the moist cooking and drying affected the glucosinolates and that the sodium carbonate acted on another component, possibly sinapine. The digestibility of protein was markedly reduced by 3.8% sodium carbonate; the losses of lysine and sulphur amino acids were extensive and dietary supplementation was necessary for improved growth of mice. Experiments with swine fed natural ingredient diets containing 15% of mustard meal, Yellow Sarson meal or Tower rapeseed meal revealed that all meals permitted near-normal growth and feed utilization. The inclusion of up to 0.6% ground rapeseed as a myrosinase source was not deleterious. Differences in responses of mice and swine to glucosinolates are discussed.

Growth Promoting

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are known to influence plant growth by various direct or indirect mechanisms. Present study was conducted with an aim to estimate the PGPB potential of two nickel tolerant bacterial isolates from river Hooghly. Isolates (I-3) (Gram negative coccobacilli) and (II-1) (Gram positive rods) were observed, among a total of 22 other isolates, to tolerate and accumulate significant amounts of nickel and also have multiple Plant Growth Promoting (PGP) activities like IAA production and phosphate solubilization. Present study also shows that seeds of yellow mustard (Brassica hirta) inoculated with both the test isolates individually, significantly enhanced root and shoot growth and also protected the plant from the various phytotoxic effects of nickel.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i4.11107 Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 2(4): 413-419

Mustard oil extracted from seasonal crops, Brassica nigra, Brassica junea and Brassica hirta, has enormous edible and non-edible uses in India. The oil is consumed after extraction from mustard seeds, generally without any further processing. High price and dark colour of the oil make it vulnerable for adulteration. But there are some distinct physical and chemical parameters like refractive index, saponification value, iodine value, colour, essential content and unsap composition, by which the purity check of mustard oil can be done. Similarly, acid value, free fatty acid content, peroxide value, p-anisidine value of the oil helps to determine its conformity as safe and standard edible oil. In the present study few samples of mustard oil were procured from local market and analysed them to ascertain their purity and safety parameters. The packed samples are found as un-adulterated but few samples slightly deviated from safety standards.

Species Variability

Abstract Intraspecific variation was examined among 25 mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs), representing between two and five lines of eight agriculturally important Brassica species. Each of the approximately 140 restriction sites surveyed was invariant within each species. Only two length polymorphisms, deletions of 700 bp and 100 bp in a Brassica nigra line, were detected. A single inversion polymorphism was found; this distinguished two different mtDNA populations within a single line of Brassica hirta. Approximately 60% of the mtDNA molecules in this line and in two other B. hirta lines were identical, whereas the other 40% of the molecules in the first line differed by a 62-kb inversion. Levels of within-species variability in mtDNA appear to be lower in Brassica than in other groups of plants. These mtDNA comparisons are in agreement with cpDNA studies regarding the maternal ancestry of three amphidiploid Brassica species. This agreement and others imply that the two cytoplasmic genomes must have shared a common, maternal mode of transmission throughout the history of the genus. Finally, analysis of a supercoiled fraction of mtDNA from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) provides the strongest evidence yet in support of the multicircular model for plant mtDNAs.

Electrophysiological Tests

AbstractThe olfactory responses of male and female diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella [L.]) to leaf extracts of the following plants were examined by behavioral and electrophysiological tests: white mustard (Brassica hirta cv. Ochre); Argentine canola (B. napus cv. Regent, B. napus cv. Westar); Polish canola (B. campestris cv. Tobin); and faba bean (Vicia faba). In behavioral tests both two-choice and four-choice situations were used. All extracts attracted more moths than the control except for Regent canola extract which attracted males only. White mustard extract was about twice as attractive as that of Regent or faba bean. White mustard and faba bean extracts appeared slightly more attractive to females than to males. Oviposition was greatly stimulated by white mustard extract, but other extracts had no significant effect. Electroantennogram (EAG) tests showed that both male and female moths perceived the plant extracts through antennal receptors. Antennae of females gave a stronger EAG response than those of males, especially to white mustard and faba bean extracts.
