In this study, we investigated the effects of the ethanol extract of aerial parts of Raphanus sativus L. (ERL) on breast cancer cell proliferation and gene expression associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. The MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of various concentrations (100, 200, or 300 ${\mu}g$/mL) of ERL. ERL significantly decreased cell proliferation after 48 h of incubation (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA expression of $ErbB_2$ were decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The protein expression of $ErbB_3$ was decreased significantly at an ERL concentration of 300 ${\mu}g$/mL (P < 0.05), and mRNA expression of $ErbB_3$ was decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Akt was decreased significantly at the ERL concentration of 200 ${\mu}g$/mL (P < 0.05), and the protein expression of pAkt was decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of Akt was decreased significantly at the ERL concentration of 200 ${\mu}g$/mL ERL (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA expression of Bax were increased significantly at ERL concentrations of 200 ${\mu}g$/mL or higher (P < 0.05). The protein expression of $Bcl_2$ was increased significantly at ERL concentrations of 100 ${\mu}g$/mL or higher (P < 0.05), and mRNA expression of $Bcl_2$ was increased significantly at an ERL concentration of 300 ${\mu}g$/mL (P < 0.05). In conclusion, we suggest that Raphanus sativus, L. inhibits cell proliferation via the ErbB-Akt pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Raphanus sativus L. var. hortensis f. raphanistroides (wild radish: Brassicaceae), a herbaceous perennial, occurs only on beaches in East Asia. Genetic diversity and population structure of seven Korean populations were investigated using starch gel electrophoresis. Although the Korean populatins are small, isolated with patchy distribution, the population maintain a moderate level of genetic diversity; the mean percentage fo polymorphic loci was 51.4%, mean number of alleles per locus was 1.84, and mean expected heterozygosity was 0.116. A combination of animal-outcrossing breeding system, wide geographical distribution, restricted ecological distribution, and a propensity for high fecundity may in part be explanatory factors contributing the moderate level of genetic diversity within populations. An overall excess of homozygotes relative to Hardy-Weinberg expetations (mean FISa=0.116) indicates that consanguineous mating occur within wild radish populations, leading to a family structure within a circumscribed area. Although population of wild radish experience a limited gene flow, only 5% of the total genetic variation found in Korean wild radish populations examined is due to differences among populations (mean GST=0.052). This value is considerably lower than the mean values of species with similar life history and ecological characteristics. However, significant differences were found in allele frequencies between populations for all polymorphic loci (P<0.01). It is supposed that directional selection toward genetic uniformity (similar gene frequencies) in a relatively homogenous habitat is thought to be operated among Korean wild radish populations.

A minor anionic isoperoxidase named $A_{3n}$, was isolated from Korean radish (Raphanus sativus L.) root. Purification of the enzyme was accomplished by CMcellulose chromatography, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. The enzyme was a glycoprotein with molecular weight of approximately 31,000 as determined by SDS-PAGE and 33,000 by Sepadex G-150 gel filtration, which is by far the smallest among the reported isoperoxidases. The pI value was 3.5. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 6.5 for guaiacol and $H_2O_2$, and the $K_m$ values for guaiacol and $H_2O_2$ were 13.3 mM and 1.5 mM, respectively. Kinetic studies with various substrates revealed that only A3n, unlike other isoperoxidases from radish, did not use scopoletin as a substrate and had very low $K_m$ value of 0.25 mM for ferolic acid among naturally occurring phenolic substrates.

본 실험은 양액의 종류와 배지의 종류, 그리고 양액의 농도가 20일 무의 생육과 몇가지 품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 20일 무의 양액재배시 적절한 양액의 구명을 위하여 기존의 Cooper, Hoagland, Yamazaki양액의 비교실험을 실시한 결과, YamaBaki양액이 엽장, 엽수, 지상부와 지하부 생체중 등 전반적으로 Hoagland와 Cooper 양액보다 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 근형지수는 모든 처리구에서 약 0.66으로 비교적 낮은 수치를 보였다. 14가지 조합의 배지를 이용하여 고형배지경을 실시하였다. 그 결과 모래 배지가 가장 균일하고도 좋은 생육의 20일 무를 배출하였고, 피트모스는 반대의 생육을 보였다. 근형지수의 경우 전반적으로 고형배지경이 순수수경재배보다 높은 수치를 나타내었다. Yamazaki 양액의 적정농도 수준을 구명을 위하여 모래를 배지로 하여 20일 무의 생육과 품질을 비교 조사한 결과, 1.0mS/cm 이상의 농도에서는 전반적으로 20일 무의 생육이 좋았으며, 특히 1.5mS/cm가 가장 좋은 생육을 보였다. 비타민 C의 함량과 티오시아네이트 함량은 1.0mS/cm이상의 처리구에서는 현저한 차이가 없었으나, 0.5mS/cm는 상당히 높은 수치를 보였다. 또한 무기물 함량의 경우는 모든 처리구에서 통계적 유의성이 없었으나, 칼륨이 1.5mS/cm에서 비교적 높은 함량을 나타내었다.

This study investigated the physicochemical quality, antioxidant activity, instrumental sensory characteristics of nurungi prepared from rice and dried-radish root bugak powder (DRBP). DRBP was made from dried-radish root bugak (DRB) coated with 80% superfine glutinous and 20% non-glutinous rice powders. The nurungji food products were prepared using 80% non-glutinous rice and 20% glutinous rice, and DRBP, which was added at different levels of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10%, respectively (NR-2, NR-4, NR-6, NR-8, and NR-10). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were increased from 21.34 to 27.87 mL, and 7.46 to 20.05 mgNE/mL respectively, as the amounts of DRBP increased. Color L^*-value, pH, and hydration properties were decreased with the increased amounts of DRBP. The electronic tongue results showed that NR-6 sample had high umami scores and sourness compared to the control sample (NR-0). Furthermore, SEM images indicated different shapes between the control (NR-0) and other treatments. However, no differences among nurungji treated with DRBP. Therefore, the use of DRB coated with superfine glutinous and non-glutinous rice powders is a viable ingredient for nurungji preparation. This study shows that adding 6% DRBP produced nurungji with good- quality physicochemical and sensory characteristics.

Three catalase cDNA clones were isolated from the small radish (Raphanus sativus L.). Their nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences showed the greatest homology to those of Arabidopsis. Genomic Southern blot analysis, using RsCat1 cDNA as a probe, showed that catalases are encoded by small multigene family in the small radish. Nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels revealed the presence of several catalase isozymes, the levels of which varied among the organs examined. The isozyme activities were assigned the individual catalase genes by Northern analysis using total RNA from different organs. The three catalase genes were differentially expressed in response to treatments such as white light, xenobiotics, osmoticum, and UV. Their expression in seedlings was controlled by the circadian clock under a light/dark cycle and/or in constant light. Interestingly, RsCat1 transcripts peaked in the morning, while those of RsCat2 and RsCat3 peaked in the early evening. Our results suggest that the RsCat enzymes are involved in defense against the oxidative stress induced by environmental changes.
