A study the Morphological and Physiological Parameters of the Eruca Sativa L Plant

Abstract

Eruca sativa L. is a member of the Brassicaceae / Cruciferae family, often known as rocket, taramira, and arugula. This is an annual, herbaceous oilseed plant with significant economic value. The plant is utilized as a leafy vegetable due to its peppery flavor. freshness, tartness, and bitterness. The herb has considerable medical benefits. Photochemical research on several portions of Eruca sativa have revealed the presence of flavonoid chemicals, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, and so forth. Rockets are endemic to the Mediterrancan area. newlineIn the current study, three types of Rocket plant are used, and hybridization is carried out followed by minute measurements of morphological and physiological data. Morphological criteria include percentage seed germination. seedling morphology, average number of branches, plant height. and days to blossom. Number of stomata per unit area, number of chloroplasts per guard cell, average number of ovules per pistil, and number of seeds per silique. The physiological parameter is rate of transpiration. Certain cytological criteria are also considered, including the mean number of chromocentres and pollen fertility. newline newline
