Brassicaceae are common on serpentine and dolomite rich in magnesium. Over a hundred species in the family accumulate heavy metals, particularly zinc and nickel, which is a record percentage. [18] Several Alyssum species can accumulate nickel up to 0.3% of their dry weight, and may be useful in soil remediation or even bio-mining. [19]
There are around 350 genera in the plant family Brassicaceae.The type genus is Brassica (cabbage and mustards). Genera with a large number of species are Alyssum (madworts), Arabis (rockcresses), Cardamine (bittercresses), Draba (whitlow-grasses), Erysimum (wallflowers), Heliophila, Lepidium (pepperworts), Noccaea, Odontarrhena, Physaria (bladderpods), and Rorippa (yellowcresses).
Brassica (/ ˈ b r æ s ɪ k ə /) is a genus of plants in the cabbage and mustard family (Brassicaceae). The members of the genus are informally known as cruciferous vegetables, cabbages, mustard plants, or simply brassicas. [2] Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops—derived from the Latin caulis, denoting the stem or stalk of ...
Cruciferous vegetables are vegetables of the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivars being raised for food production such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard plant and similar green leaf vegetables.
The website defines itself as "tools and biological resources for Brassicaceae character and trait studies". Researchers studying Brassicaceae species use the tools provided in BrassiBase to refine the taxonomy and evolutionary history of plants in this family and to perform phylogenetic analyses. [1] [2]
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.
Rhamphospermum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. [1] It was revived in 2021, in a "long overdue" taxonomic revision of the Brassicaceae. [ 2 ]
The families Capparaceae and Brassicaceae are closely related. One group, consisting of Cleome and related genera, was traditionally included in the Capparaceae but doing so results in a paraphyletic Capparaceae. [3] Therefore, this group is generally now either included in the Brassicaceae or as its own family, Cleomaceae. [4] [7]
