14-September-2008 18:38:41 - Brassica Brassica Brassica rapa Brassica rapa Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Brassicales Family: Brassicaceae Genus: Brassica Species See text. Brassica Brás-si-ca is a genus of plants in the mustard family Brassicaceae. The members of the genus may be collectively known either as cabbages, or as mustards. Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops, which is derived from the Latin caulis, meaning cabbage.citation needed This genus is remarkable for containing more important agricultural and horticultural crops than any other genus. It also includes a number of weeds, both wild taxa and escapees from cultivation. It includes over 30 wild species and hybrids, and numerous additional cultivars and hybrids of cultivated origin. Most are annuals or biennials, but some are small shrubs. The genus is native in the wild in western Europe, the Merranean and temperate regions of Asia. In addition to the cultivated species, which are grown worldwide, many of the wild species grow as weeds, especially in North America, South America, and Australia. Contents 1 Uses 1.1 Food 1.2 Medicine 2 Species 2.1 Deprecated species names 3 Genome sequencing and genetics 4 See also 5 References Uses Food Almost all parts of some species or other have been developed for food, including the root swedes, turnips, stems kohlrabi, leaves cabbage, brussels sprouts, flowers cauliflower, broccoli, and seeds many, including mustard seed, oilseed rape. Some forms with white or purple foliage or flowerheads, are also sometimes grown for ornament. Brassica species are sometimes used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species - see List of Lepidoptera that feed on Brassica. Due to their agricultural importance, Brassica plants have been the subject of much scientific interest. The close relationship between 6 particularly important species Brassica carinata, B. juncea, B. oleracea, B. napus, B. nigra and B. rapa is described by the Triangle of U theory. Medicine Brassica vegetables are highly regarded for their nutritional value. They provide high amounts of vitamin C and soluble fiber and contain multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties: 3,3'-Diindolylmethane, sulforaphane and selenium. Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have recently discovered that 3,3'-Diindolylmethane in Brassica vegetables is a potent modulator of the innate immune response system with potent anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer activity. Species There is some disagreement among botanists on the classification and status of Brassica species and subspecies. The following is an abbreviated list, with an emphasis on economically important species. B. carinata - Abyssinian Mustard or Abyssinian Cabbage, used to produce biodiesel. B. elongata - Elongated Mustard B. fruticulosa - Merranean Cabbage B. juncea - Indian Mustard, Brown and leaf mustards, Sarepta Mustard. B. napus - Rapeseed, Canola, Rutabaga Swede Turnip, Nabicol B. narinosa - Broadbeaked Mustard B. nigra - Black Mustard B. oleracea - Kale, Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kai-lan, Brussels sprouts B. perviridis - Tender Green, Mustard Spinach B. rapa syn B. campestris - Chinese cabbage, Turnip, Rapini, Komatsuna B. rupestris - Brown Mustard B. septiceps - Seventop Turnip B. tournefortii - Asian Mustard Deprecated species names B. kaber Wild Mustard or Charlock - see Sinapis arvensis B. alba or B. hirta White or Yellow mustard - see Sinapis alba Genome sequencing and genetics The B. rapa genome is currently being sequenced by an international consortium. This also represents the A genome component of the amphidiploid crop species B. napus and B. juncea .1 See also Cruciferous vegetables for more edible plants of the Brassicaceae family.
