Many recent stndies of NMR spectroscopy have been reported for structure elucidation of anthocyanins from many plant materials such as carrot, tart berries, boysenberries, " flowers, black soybeans, and anthocyanin and flavonol derivatives in red wine. Ginsti et al. (1998) structurally elucidated two novel diacylated anthocyanins and two monoacylated anthocyanins from radish Raphanus sativus) by one- and two-dimensional NMR. Anderson et al. (2006) applied two-dimensional NMR to characterize carboxypyranoanthocyanins. Two 3-deoxyantho-cyanins, lnteolinidin-5-glncoside, and apigeninidin-5-glucoside were identified by Swinny et al. nsing H and C NMR.

Rue infusion was tested for its allelopathic activity in vitro on water uptake and germination of radish seeds. Seeds of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) Saxa, collected during 2003, were purchased from Improta Co., Naples. 

Cress (Lepidium sativum) and radish (Raphanus sativus) are small seeds, quick to germinate and sensitive to phytotoxic (plant damaging) substances like the organic acids temporarily present in immature composts.

This pathway is also prominent in green plants.107-109 For example, under anaerobic conditions the radish Raphanus sativus accumulates large amounts of y-aminobutyr-ate.110 Most animal tissues contain very little y-aminobutyrate, although it has been found in the oviducts of rats at concentrations that exceed those in the brain.111...

The vegetable radish (Raphanus sativus L.) shows mild pungency attributed to 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate. Other vegetables of the Brassica and Allium species, too, are reported to contain small amounts of these isothiocyanates, but they are possibly diluted and altered during cooking, and so have not been reported as exhibiting sensory pungency in foods.
