Highlights
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana Gaertn., Mey. & Scherb.) is a hardy perennial that is member of the Brassicaceae family, and grown for its white, fleshy, and pungent roots, that are often used as condiment [1,2]
Internal root discoloration of horseradish roots occur throughout the world where this crop is grown and is often times the primary limiting factor in horseradish production [3,4]
This study demonstrated that most commercial horseradish cultivars grown in Illinois, USA have no field tolerance to internal root discoloration (IRD), and of the few that do, two clones (15K and 315) were shown to be effective parents for developing new cultivars with IRD tolerance
Summary
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana Gaertn., Mey. & Scherb.) is a hardy perennial that is member of the Brassicaceae family, and grown for its white, fleshy, and pungent roots, that are often used as condiment [1,2]. Horseradish is produced primarily in the United States and Europe, there is production in other countries to some extent including Canada, China, and South Africa.

The area just east of St. Louis, Missouri, USA (including Caseyville, Collinsville, and Edwardsville, Illinois) is considered the most concentrated horseradish production region in the world.
