The growth and phosphate mobilization of control and salt-stressed sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants were examined to ascertain whether or not translocation limits growth of salt-stressed plants. Plants were grown in a complete nutrient solution with and without excess salt. One-half of the control and salt-stressed plants were later transferred to phosphate-fre...

Background and objectives: Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seeds have been a well-known oil crop in the world for many centuries. Lignans are functionally important compartments of sesame. Sesamin and sesamol are the main sesame lignans, which have recently shown various activities with health benefits, like anti-oxidative, anti-proliferative, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-in...

Abstract This paper investigates agricultural practices during the 1st millennium BCE in Greece. New archaeobotanical data provide fresh insights on plant economy at urban centers of Sikyon and Olynthos, dated to Archaic-Classical period. The results show that staple Olynthos was based a broad spectrum. However, analysis records presence taxa such as sesame (Sesamum indicum) pine (Pinus pinea) ...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) was renowned in the ancient ages for stability of its healthy oil, accessibility extraction, and drought resilience. Consequently, to produce novel varieties, present work entails utilization basic metrics variability genetic variation. The investigation included 60 sesame genotypes 13 quantitative characteristics. analysis variance revealed that were significant all...
