Sinapis alba

Parasorbic acid (Figure 2) was isolated from fruits of Sorbus aucuparia. Germination of mustard seed Sinapis alba) was affected adversely by parasorbic acid at 3.5 X 10-3 M and growth of excised tomato roots was inhibited at approximately 8.5 X 10 4 M (25). The acid also antagonized indoleacetic acid (IAA) in the Avena assay. Cornman 29,30) reported that parasorbic acid slowed down mitosis. Metaphase stages were observed to accumulate, but abnormalities were not detected. 

Seed coating with extracts of mustard (Sinapis alba) and horse radish (.Amoracia lapathifolia) was shown to have high efficacy against T. caries spores but not Fusarium spp. (SpieB and Dutschke, 1991).

In microsomes from Sinapis alba L.,33,34 Tropaeolum majus L.,35,36 and Carica papaya L.,37 the aromatic amino acids (tyrosine and phenylalanine) have been shown to be converted to the corresponding oximes by cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases. The conversion of tyrosine to the corresponding oxime in microsomes from S. alba was approximately 1000 fold lower than in microsomes from the cyanogenic sorghum.33 This made a biochemical approach for the isolation...

The leaf flavonoids of the cruciferous species such as Camelina sativa, Crambe abyssinica, Crambe hispanica, Thlaspi arvense, Brassica napus and Sinapis alba were separated and identified with the combination of HPLC, TLC and paper chromatography. Llavonoid aglycones were extracted by cutting fresh three-week-old leaves in tiny pieces and boiled in 50 ml of 2 M HC1 for 45 min. 

Plants exposed to heavy metal stress often increase the pH of the growing medium in order to reduce their uptake. We have recorded such a response in Sinapis alba L cv. Nakielska plants grown in the presence of (Figure 5) (Wihska-Krysiak and Gawrohski, 2002). This parameter...

Sulfamoyl-2-chloroadenosine (121) from a strain of Streptomyces alhus possesses potent herbicidal activity on broad leaf weeds in post-emergent application (80 percent control on Sinapis alba, Stellaria media, Veronica persica, and Xanthium spinosum at <24 g/acre). Unfortunately, this compound also exhibits strong mammalian toxicity (LCso in mouse fibroblasts 0.013 pg/ml). Nucleocidin glucoside (122), a fluoronucleoside from a Streptomyces strain, is a weak herbicide [97].
