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...

The major protein fraction, alpha-globulin, of sesame seed (Sesamum indicum L.) contains subunits which are associated predominantly by hydrophobic interactions. Effects of various salts show the following effectiveness of anions in dissociating the proteins, SO4(2-) less than Cl- less than Br- less than ClO4- less than SCN- less than or equal to I- less than CCl3COO-, the first two members bei...

The present study deals with the investigation of erstwhile undocumented fifty four samples of West Bengal honey from ten different floral origins sesame (Sesamum indicum), hizal (Barringtonia acutangula), mustard (Brassica spp.), drumstick (Moringa oleifera), litchi (Litchi chinensis), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), karanza (Pongamia glabra), khalsi (Aegiceras corniculatum), goran (Ceriops deca...

Sesamum indicum L. (Family:Pedaliaceae), plays an important role in ancient culture and modern system of medicine. It is commonly known as sesame or beniseed, is cultivated through out India, mainly for its seeds and oil. The plant traditionally used in the treatment of hemorrhoids, dysentery, constipation, cough, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and ulcers. it also produces antifungal, anticancer, ant...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seeds have been grown in tropical regions throughout the world since prehistoric times. Sesame seed, a rich source of protein, is one of the fi rst crops processed for oil production. Its non-culinary application includes its use as an ingredient in soap, cosmetics, lubricants and medicines. Sesame seeds also contain two unique substances: sesamin and sesamolin known...

In this study, in order to know the variability for a breeding plant genetic diversity and relationships. Proximate composition, physicochemical and morphological analysis were carried out on sesame seeds (sesamum indicum), on 35 different cultivars from different areas in Morocco. The seeds were found to be a good source of protein with the values ranged from 26% to 28%, also the results showe...

Genetic diversity among 20 sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) accessions was examined at DNA level by means of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Ten primers used produced a total of 93 RAPD fragments, of which 70 (75%) were polymorphic. Each primer generated 5 to 17 amplified fragments with an average of 9.3 bands per primer. Based on pair-wise comparisons of RAPD amplification product...
