'''Brassicaceae''' or '''Cruciferae''' is a medium-sized and economically important [[Family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plants]] commonly known as the mustards, the '''crucifers''', or the '''cabbage family'''.
 
 
 
The name ''Brassicaceae'' is derived from the included [[genus]] ''[[Brassica]]''. The alternative older name, Cruciferae ({{IPAc-en|lang|k|r|uː|ˈ|s|ɪ|f|ə|r|i}}), meaning "cross-bearing", describes the four [[petal]]s of mustard flowers, which resemble a [[cross]]. Cruciferae is one of eight plant family names without the suffix ''-aceae'' that are authorized alternative names (according to [[ICBN]] Art. 18.5 and 18.6 Vienna Code).
 
 
 
The family contains 372 [[genus|genera]] and 4060 accepted [[species]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theplantlist.org/1.1/browse/A/Brassicaceae/|title=Brassicaceae|publisher=The Plant List}}</ref> 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), ''[[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.
 
 
 
==Taxonomy==
 
 
 
The family is included in the [[order (biology)|Brassicales]] according to the [[APG system]]. Older systems (e.g., [[Cronquist system|Arthur Cronquist's]]) placed them into the [[Capparales]], a now-defunct order that had a similar definition.
 
 
 
This family comprises about 375 genera and 2500 species all over the world; 94 species of 38 genera are found in Nepal.  The plants are mostly herbs.  A close relationship has long been acknowledged between the Brassicaceae and the [[caper]] family, [[Capparaceae]], in part because members of both groups produce [[glucosinolate]] (mustard oil) compounds. <!-- Research published in 2002 suggested that --> The Capparaceae as traditionally circumscribed were [[paraphyletic]] with respect to Brassicaceae, with ''[[Cleome]]'' and several related genera being more closely related to the Brassicaceae than to other Capparaceae.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Phylogeny of Capparaceae and Brassicaceae based on chloroplast sequence data |year=2002 |last1=Hall |first1=J. C. |last2=Sytsma |first2=K. J. |last3=Iltis |first3=H. H. |journal=[[American Journal of Botany]] |volume=89 |issue=11 |pages=1826–1842 |doi=10.3732/ajb.89.11.1826 |pmid=21665611}}</ref> The [[APG II]] system, therefore, has merged the two families under the name Brassicaceae.  Other classifications have continued to recognize the Capparaceae, but with a more restricted circumscription, either including ''Cleome'' and its relatives in the Brassicaceae or recognizing them in the segregate family [[Cleomaceae]].  The [[APG III system]] has recently adopted this last solution, but this may change as a consensus arises on this point. This article deals with Brassicaceae ''[[sensu|sensu stricto]]'', i.e. treating the Cleomaceae and Capparaceae as segregated families.

==Description==
 
[[Image:Purple rock cress.JPG|thumb|left|upright|''[[Aubrieta deltoidea]]'' (commonly known as purple rock cress) is a perennial wild flower used in gardening for its ornamental large inflorescence.]]
 
The family consists mostly of [[herbaceous]] plants with annual, biennial, or perennial lifespans. However, around the Mediterranean, they include also a dozen woody shrubs 1-3 m tall, e.g. in northern Africa ''(Zilla spinosa'' and ''Ptilotrichum spinosum)'', in the Dalmatian islands ''(Dendralyssum'' and ''Cramboxylon)'', and chiefly in Canarias with some woody cruciferous genera: ''Dendrosinapis, Descurainia, Parolinia, Stanleya, etc.''.
 
 
 
The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[phyllotaxis|alternate]] (rarely [[phyllotaxis|opposite]]), sometimes organized in basal [[rosette (botany)|rosette]]s; in rare shrubby crucifers of Mediterranean their leaves are mostly in terminal rosettes, and may be coriaceous and evergreen. They are very often pinnately incised and do not have [[stipule]]s.
 
 
 
The structure of the [[flower]]s is extremely uniform throughout the family. They have four free saccate [[sepal]]s and four clawed free [[petal]]s, staggered. They can be [[Floral symmetry|disymmetric]] or slightly [[Floral symmetry|zygomorphic]], with a typical cross-like arrangement (hence the name Cruciferae). They have six [[stamen]]s, four of which are longer (as long as the petals) and are arranged in a cross like the petals and the other two are shorter (tetradynamous flower). The [[pistil]] is made up of two fused [[carpel]]s and the style is very short, with two lobes. The ovary is superior. The flowers form ebracteate [[Inflorescence#Simple inflorescences|racemose]] inflorescences, often apically corymb-like.{{clarification needed|reason=unnecessary jargon - explain in simple language|date=July 2016}}
 
 
 
[[Pollination]] occurs by [[entomogamy]]; nectar is produced at the base of the stamens and stored on the sepals.
 
 
 
[[Image:Cardamine.impatiens.pods.jpg|thumb|Siliquae of ''[[Cardamine impatiens]]'']]
 
The [[fruit]] is a peculiar kind of [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] named [[Silique|siliqua]] (plural siliquae). It opens by two valves, which are the modified carpels, leaving the [[seed]]s attached to a framework made up of the placenta and tissue from the junction between the valves (replum). Often, an indehiscent beak occurs at the top of the style and one or more [[seed]]s may be borne there. Where a siliqua is less than three times as long as it is broad, it is usually termed a silicula. The siliqua may break apart at constrictions occurring between the segments of the seeds, thus forming a sort of [[loment]] (e.g., ''[[Raphanus]]''), it may eject the seeds explosively (e.g., ''[[Cardamine]]'') or may be evolved in a sort of [[Samara (fruit)|samara]] (e.g., ''[[Isatis]]'').  The fruit is often the most important diagnostic character for plants in this family.

Most members share a suite of glucosinolate compounds that have a typical pungent odour usually associated with cole crops.
 
 
 
==Uses==
 
[[Image:LunariaAnnua1.jpg|thumb|upright|''[[Lunaria annua]]'' with  ripe seed pods]]

The importance of this family for food crops has led to its selective breeding throughout history. Some examples of cruciferous food plants are the [[cabbage]], [[broccoli]], [[cauliflower]], [[turnip]], [[rapeseed]], [[Mustard plant|mustard]], [[radish]], [[horseradish]], [[garden cress|cress]], [[wasabi]], and [[watercress]].
 
{{main|Cruciferous vegetables}}
 
 
 
''[[Matthiola]]'' (stock), ''[[Cheiranthus]]'', ''[[Lobularia (plant)|Lobularia]]'', and ''[[Iberis]]'' (candytufts) are appreciated for their flowers. ''[[Lunaria]]'' (honesty) is cultivated for the decorative value of the translucent replum of the round silicula that remains on the dried stems after dehiscence.
 
 
 
''[[Capsella bursa-pastoris]]'', ''[[Lepidium]]'', and many ''[[Cardamine]]'' species are common weeds.
 
 
 
''[[Isatis tinctoria]]'' (woad) was used in the past to produce the colour [[indigo]].
 
 
 
''[[Arabidopsis thaliana]]'' is a very important [[model organism]] in the study of the flowering plants ([[Angiospermae]]).
 
 
 
==Etymology and pronunciation==
 
The name "Brassicaceae" ({{IPAc-en|lang|ˌ|b|r|æ|s|ᵻ|ˈ|k|eɪ|s|i|,_|-|s|i|ˌ|aɪ|,_|-|s|i|ˌ|eɪ|,_|-|s|i|ˌ|i}}) comes to [[international scientific vocabulary]] from [[New Latin]], from ''[[Brassica]]'', the [[type genus]], + ''[[wikt:-aceae#Suffix|-aceae]]'',<ref name="MWU">{{Citation |author=Merriam-Webster |authorlink=Merriam-Webster |title=Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary |publisher=Merriam-Webster |url=http://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/unabridged/ |postscript=.}}</ref> a standardized [[suffix]] for plant family names in modern taxonomy. The genus name comes from the [[Classical Latin]] word ''[[wikt:brassica#Noun_2|brassica]]'', referring to [[cabbage]] and [[cruciferous vegetables]].
