The "triangle of U" diagram, showing the genetic relationships among six species of the genus Brassica. Chromosomes from each of the genomes A, B and C are represented by different colours. The triangle of U (/ uː / OO) is a theory about the evolution and relationships among the six most commonly known members of the plant genus Brassica.
Many vegetables, fruits, nuts, [1] and seeds contain campesterol, but in low concentrations. Banana , pomegranate , pepper , coffee , grapefruit , cucumber , onion , oat , potato , and lemon grass (citronella) are few examples of common sources containing campesterol at roughly 1–7 mg/100 g of the edible portion.
Wisconsin Fast Plants were initially developed as part of a larger breeding project of Rapid-Cycling Brassicas, originating in the early 1970s. [1] Wisconsin Fast Plants and other Rapid-Cycling Brassicas were selected through conventional plant breeding to be a tool that would speed up genetic research for disease resistance in economically important Brassica crops.

The mustard plant is any one of several plant species in the genera Brassica, Rhamphospermum and Sinapis in the family Brassicaceae (the mustard family). Mustard seed is used as a spice . Grinding and mixing the seeds with water, vinegar, or other liquids creates the yellow condiment known as prepared mustard .
The isolates can be differentiated into races based on the reaction of several Brassica lines after inoculation. A race structure including 5 races (0 to 4) was first proposed in 1992; [12] a revised classification model with 6 races was proposed in 2001 [13] and, more recently, the model was expanded to include nine races.

Xanthomonas campestris is a gram-negative, obligate aerobic bacterium that is a member of the Xanthomonas genus, which is a group of bacteria that are commonly known for their association with plant disease. [1]
The most common type of turnip is mostly white-skinned, apart from the upper 1 to 6 centimetres (1 ⁄ 2 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches), which protrude above the ground and are purple or red or greenish where the sun has hit. This above-ground part develops from stem tissue but is fused with the root.
† Percentages estimated using US recommendations for adults, [1] except for potassium, which is estimated based on expert recommendation from the National Academies. [ 2 ] The Brussels sprout is a member of the Gemmifera cultivar group of cabbages ( Brassica oleracea ), grown for its edible buds.
