The morbidity and mortality caused by bacterial infections significantly increased with resistance to commonly used antibiotics. This is partially due to the activation of efflux pumps in Gram-negative bacteria. The present work designed to assess the in vitro antibacterial activities of seven Cameroonian dietary plants (Sesamum indicum, Sesamum radiatum, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Corchous olitori...

cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. in this study, the effect of chronic administration of sesame (sesamum indicum l) seed feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats. male diabetic rats received sesame seed-mixed food at weight ratios of 3% and 6% for 7 weeks, one week after diabetes in...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oilseed crops. In order to investigate the evolutionary characters according to the Sesame Genome Project, apart from sequencing its nuclear genome, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of S. indicum cv. Yuzhi 11 (white seeded) using Illumina and 454 sequencing. Comparisons of chloroplast genomes between S. indicum and the 18 other higher...

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 ...

Young children are strikingly good at learning the meanings of words, even under conditions of limited exposure. In Markson and Bloom (1997), we suggest that this `fast mapping' ability is not special to word learning. Children who heard a novel object described, in passing, as `a koba' remembered which object the word referred to when tested a month later. However, children who heard a novel o...

This article is about my memories from the discovery[1, 2, 3, 4] that the Veneziano model[5] described in fact interacting strings. I came to the understanding that the dual or Veneziano model is really a model of strings independently of Susskind[3] and Nambu[4]. A characteristic feature of my approach [1, 2] was that I used thinking of very high order “fishnet” or planar Feynman diagrams as t...
