Abstract
AbstractThe thiocyanate content was studied in seed and marketable root of 5 white and 8 red cultivars of radishes (Raphanus sativus L.) grown under greenhouse conditions. The SCN− content in seeds prior to planting was negatively correlated with the SCN− content in marketable roots of white cultivars. On the contrary, there was a corresponding positive correlation for red cultivars. Although larger seeds resulted in larger radishes, there was no difference in SCN− content in root of plants grown from different seed sizes. The evidence suggests a genotypic association between colour type and root/seed thiocyanate ratio of radish cultivars.
