Brassicaceae (/br脱s肘ke肘sii/) or Cruciferae (/krus肘fri/)[2] is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, some shrubs, with simple, although sometimes deeply incised, alternatingly set leaves without stipules or in leaf rosettes, with terminal inflorescences without bracts, containing flowers with four free sepals, four free alternating petals, two short and four longer free stamens, and a fruit with seeds in rows, divided by a thin wall (or septum).
The family contains 372 genera and 4,060 accepted species.[3] The largest genera are Draba (440 species), Erysimum (261 species), Lepidium (234 species), Cardamine (233 species), and Alyssum (207 species).
The family contains the cruciferous vegetables, including species such as Brassica oleracea (e.g. broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collards), Brassica rapa (turnip, Chinese cabbage, etc.), Brassica napus (rapeseed, etc.), Raphanus sativus (common radish), Armoracia rusticana (horseradish), but also a cut-flower Matthiola (stock) and the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress).
Pieris rapae and other butterflies of the family Pieridae are some of the best-known pests of Brassicaceae species planted as commercial crops. Trichoplusia ni (cabbage looper) moth is also becoming increasingly problematic for crucifers due to its resistance to commonly used pest control methods.[4] Some rarer Pieris butterflies, such as Pieris virginiensis, depend upon native mustards for their survival, in their native habitats. Some non-native mustards, such as garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata, an extremely invasive species in the United States, can be toxic to their larvae.

Wild fruits are fruits of wild plants, and underutilized, or less known.Wild fruits are safe to eat, and some serve as medicines.Wild fruits are globally distributed, primarily in areas with minimal human activity.These fruits are treasure of essential nutrients and powerful antioxidants. India's vast rural population, reliant on agriculture, can unlock incredible income potential through domestication and diversification.Diversification will make nutritious fruit more accessible to those living in poverty, transforming lives. Even when the fruits growing in wild habitats are a rich source of nutrition, have medicinal properties, and contribute to the socio-economic and cultural diversity of people of rural areas, yet they are ignored and are not exploited to their true potential. Domestication and cultivation will not only help in improving the lifestyle of the people of rural community but will also help in securing nutritional security and will also help in their income generation. By working strategically fruit diversification will not only help the rural community but the whole nation altogether.

Detection of ferrihydrite in Martian red dust records ancient cold and wet co...S辿rgio Sacani
油
Iron oxide-hydroxide minerals in Martian dust provide crucial insights into
Mars past climate and habitability. Previous studies attributed Mars red color
to anhydrous hematite formed through recent weathering. Here, we show that
poorly crystalline ferrihydrite (Fe5O8H 揃 nH2O) is the dominant iron oxidebearing phase in Martian dust, based on combined analyses of orbital, in-situ,
and laboratory visible near-infrared spectra. Spectroscopic analyses indicate
that a hyperfine mixture of ferrihydrite, basalt and sulfate best matches Martian dust observations. Through laboratory experiments and kinetic calculations, we demonstrate that ferrihydrite remains stable under present-day
Martian conditions, preserving its poorly crystalline structure. The persistence
of ferrihydrite suggests it formed during a cold, wet period on early Mars
under oxidative conditions, followed by a transition to the current hyper-arid
environment. This finding challenges previous models of continuous dry oxidation and indicates that ancient Mars experienced aqueous alteration before
transitioning to its current desert state.

PROTEIN DEGRADATION via ubiquitous pathawayKaviya Priya A
油
Protein degradation via ubiquitous pathway In general science, a ubiquitous pathway refers to a biochemical or metabolic pathway that is:
1. *Widely present*: Found in many different organisms, tissues, or cells.
2. *Conserved*: Remains relatively unchanged across different species or contexts.
Examples of ubiquitous pathways include:
1. *Glycolysis*: The process of breaking down glucose for energy, found in nearly all living organisms.
2. *Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)*: A key metabolic pathway involved in energy production, present in many cells.
3. *Pentose phosphate pathway*: A metabolic pathway involved in energy production and antioxidant defenses, found in many organisms.
These pathways are essential for life and have been conserved across evolution, highlighting their importance for cellular function and survival.

complex. In euphorbia, the infloresence is peculiar but very
characteristics known as cyathium.
Vegetative Characteristics of
Euphorbiaceae
8. Perianth: Calyx or corolla are
present e.g. Croton. The perianth
consists of 4 to 5 petals. The
calyx or corolla are consists of 4
to 5 sepals or petals. The
aestivation is valvate or
imbricate.
Androecium: The no. of
stamens from one to many.
Usually as Many stamens are
present as many perianth leaves.
The anthers are dithecious.
Gynoecium: Tricarpellary,
Syncarpus,the ovary is trilocular,
superior. The placentation is
axile.

Seed: The seed is endospermic.
Reproductive
Characteristics
10. Dye: A red dye is obtained from
the surface of fruits of Mallotus
philippensis,Kirganelia reticulata
also yield a red dye.
Rubber: Para rubber tree
(Hevea brasiliensis) is a major
source of natural rubber.
Medicines: Emblica officinalis
are rich in Vitamin C used as
tonic .Used in traditional and
modern medicine for various
treatments . The milky juice of
Euphorbia neriifolia and castor oil
obtained from Riccinus communis
are used as purgative.
. Ornamentals: Popular
ornamental plants like Manihot,
Jatropha are cultivated for their
ornamental value.
Economic
Importance
12. Timber: Putranjiva
roxburghii,Sapium,Flugge
a microcarpa yield
valuable timber.

used as lubricant. Oil from
seeds of Aleurites
molucanna and Sapium
sebiferum is used in soap
and candle industry.
Timber and oil:
