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...

Recently, processed foods have become an important part of human eating habits. However, several processing techniques, such as dehulling and roasting, are applied to raw foods. Roasting is a thermal process that depends on temperature time improves the extraction yield oil by generating pores in oilseed cell walls. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) annual plant belonging Pedaliaceae considered be on...

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...

Induced resistance is an important component of disease-resistance response of plants, and is accompanied by increased capability for activating defense responses upon pathogen ingress or elicitor treatment. Aqueous leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica Juss.) provided the control of Alternaria leaf spot pathogen (Alternaria sesami) of sesame (Sesamum indicum L: Syn. S. orientale L). Treatme...
