macrophomina phaseolina is an important soil-borne pathogen causing charcoal rot in many important crop plants including sesame, in iran. a total of 60 isolates of m. phaseolina were collected from the main sesame producing regions in ten provinces of iran. the genetic diversity among m. phaseolina populations was estimated using inter-simple sequence repeat (issr), focusing particularly on geo...

Sesamum indicum is an important crop plant species for yielding oil. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. indicum (GenBank acc no. JN637766) is 153,324 bp in length, and has a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions consisting of 25,141 bp each. The lengths of the large single copy (LSC) and the small single copy (SSC) regions are 85,170 bp and 17,872 bp, respectively. Comparative cp DNA seq...

A new anthraquinone derivative, named anthrasesamone F, was isolated from the seeds of Sesamum indicum. Its structure was determined to be (Z)-6,7-dihydroxy-2-(6-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-pentenyl)anthraquinone on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.

Calyptella capula is reported for the first time in Korea. It was found in spring in Chungcheongbuk-do, central Korea, growing in a dead stalk of Sesamum indicum. A description and molecular phylogenetic analyses are reported.

The gametogenesis and the embryogeny of Sesamum indicum L. were reported by Nohara (1934). He observed the embryo sac formation but did not completed the study up to the stage of the embryo. However,. Johansen (1950) states that the embryogeny of the Pedaliaceae probably follows the Onagrad type, judging from the inadequate illustrations accompanied by the rather meager accounts of the embryoge...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop known for its nutty seeds and high-quality edible oil. It is an unexplored crop with a great economic potential. The present study deals with assessment of genetic diversity in the crop. Twenty two RAPD and 18 SSR primers were used for analysis of the 47 different sesame accessions grown in different agroclimatic zones of India. A total of ...
