A new iridoid glucoside, sesinoside (1), was isolated from the seedlings of Sesamum indicum. The structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and by methanolysis of 1, which produced the known compounds, phlorigidosides C (2) and (6Z)-foliamenthic acid methyl ester (3). This is the first report of an iridoid glucoside with 3.

To the Editor: The incidence of food allergy is age dependent, particularly affecting children and young patients. When selfreported, it ranges between 3% and 35%. However, placebocontrolled food challenge is positive in just 1% to 4% of all suspected cases. In elderly, anaphylactic reactions tend to be less severe, and a primary manifestation at this age is unusual. A 70-year-old white man nee...

Waterlogging is a common adverse environmental condition that limits plant growth. Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is considered a drought-tolerant oil crop but is typically susceptible to harmful effects from waterlogging. The present study used comparative analysis to explore the waterlogging stress response associated with two sesame genotypes. The RNA-seq dataset generated during a time course of ...

Siderophores are low molecular weight secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms under iron stress as a specific chelator. In the present study, rhizospheric bacterium was isolated from rhizosphere of sesame plants Salem district, Tamil Nadu, India and later identified Bacillus subtilis LSBS2. It exhibited multiple plant-growth-promoting (PGP) traits such hydrogen cyanide (HCN), ammonia, ...

Major lignans of sesame sesamin and sesamolin are benzodioxol--substituted furofurans. Sesamol, sesaminol, its epimers, episesamin transformation products found in processed products. Synthetic routes to all known but only sesamol is synthesized industrially. Biosynthesis furofuran begins with the dimerization coniferyl alcohol, followed by formation dioxoles, oxidation, glycosylation. Most gen...

Gamma tocopherol content of 7 Iranian sesame seeds (sesamum indicum L.) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography using C8 column and methanol, water and butanol as mobile phase. The gamma-tocopherol content varied from 563 to 1095 mg/kg in oil and 293 to 569 mg/kg in sesame seed and was in broad agreement with the Codex range. A large variation was found in the concentration of ...
