Preface
Brassicaceae (formerly, Cruciferae) is among the largest angiosperm families belonging to the order Brassicales. It consists of 12–15 tribes with 338–360 genera and about 3709 species distributed all around the globe in all continents, excluding Antarctica. Among the plant families, Brassicaceae has particular agri-horticultural importance, and diverse uses apart from the basic needs. The family consists of various essential genera that have different economic as well as agronomic uses in exploring the world of knowledge using them as model plants. Thus it implies and covers all possible sources by which a plant can be of a bliss/benefit to humankind. The Brassicaceae family comprises many different edible species such as fodder, oilseed, vegetables, and condiments. Rapeseed and mustard are the most crucial oil crops of this family, which is ranked as the third most vital oil source and contains about 14% of the world’s edible vegetable oil. Members of this family also uptake heavy metals and serve as hyper-accumulators in soil polluted with heavy m
