Abstract

Radish (Raphanus sativus L., 2n=2x=18) belonging to
Brassicaceae family is a most reliable year-round
vegetable crop grown worldwide for fleshy edible roots
and soft leaves. Genus Raphanus is a Greek word which
means ‘quickly appearing’ and representing to the quick
germination and fast-growing nature of the plants. Radish
is an ancient crop, most probably native to the eastern
Mediterranean and the Middle East where maximum
diversity prevails. However, central China, central Asia
and Hindustani center of origin appear to be secondary
centers where differing forms were evolved during
period of domestication. The ancient varieties were long
and tapered rather than cylindrical, apically bulbous
