To understand the responsive nature to excess water, a pot experiment was conducted at different growth stages of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. cv. BARI Til-4). The waterlogging stress each stage set three durations, viz. 2, 4, and 6 days. Twelve treatment combinations were replicated times arranged in completely randomized design. Different morpho-physiological yield parameters measured after com...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum Linn) is an underutilized oil seed in Nigeria. Two high yielding sesame seed cultivars (White -NCRI-98-60 and black-NCRI-97-28) were used in this study. Proximate composition, minerals, vitamins and anti nutritional factors of whole seeds, dehulled seeds and hulls were determined. Also, effects of processing namely soaking, germination, autoclaving, roasting and cooking)...

The new spacetime-supersymmetric description of the superstring is used to compute tree-level scattering amplitudes for an arbitrary number of massless four-dimensional states. The resulting Koba-Nielsen formula is manifestly SO(3,1) super-Poincaré invariant and is easily generalized to scattering in the presence of a D-brane.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed and oil have long been used widely as healthy foods to supply energy and prevent aging. Some of the main active anti-oxidative constituents in sesame seeds are γ-tocopherol and phenols. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between roasting temperature and time with γ-tocopherol and total phenolic compounds (TPC) of sesame seeds when roas...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop and has an indeterminate growth habit. Here we resequenced the genomes of the parents and 120 progeny of an F2 population derived from crossing Yuzhi 11 (indeterminate, Dt) and Yuzhi DS899 (determinate, dt1), and constructed an ultra-dense SNP map for sesame comprised of 3,041 bins including 30,193 SNPs in 13 linkage groups (LGs) with an ...

Ecological engineering for pest management involves the identification of optimal forms of botanical diversity to incorporate into a farming system to suppress pests, by promoting their natural enemies. Whilst this approach has been extensively researched in many temperate crop systems, much less has been done for rice. This paper reports the influence of various plant species on the performanc...
