Purpose: To investigate the antitumour activity of Sesamum indicum L. Methods All the fractions of the ethanol extract of Sesamum indicum L. were obtained by solvent refining technique. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to test the cytotoxicity of the extracts on four different tumour cell lines Hela, CNE-2, smmc-7721 and Kyse-410. The effect of Sesamum indicum L. on apoptosis ...

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.

Bacillus megaterium have been advocated as effective and economical bio inoculant to use in the integrated nutrient and pest control system. Bacillus megaterium from soil of different Agro climatic zones of Karnataka were isolated and identified. Molecular characterization of the Bacillus megaterium isolates was done using RAPD technique. The study of effect of Bacillus megaterium on seed germi...

Sesamum indicum (black seasame) is a plant growing and cultivated in Africa, India and Asia including some parts of Iran. This plant was used in Iranian folk medicine for their digestive, carminative, antispasmodic, sedative, analgesic, tonic and diuretic as well as for functional gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this study was to overview its bioactive properties. This review article was...

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.

Effect of Explant, Type and Concentration Hormone on Callus Induction Regeneration two Iranian Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) Cultivars

environmental stresses specially drought, play an important role in decreasing plant growth, particularly during germination in dry and semi dry area. to considering the effect of drought stress caused by polyethylene glycol on germination and characteristics of 2 spices of sesamum indicum, we had done factorial and complete accidental plot with 4 treatments and 3 times repetition. experimental...
