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...

Palm oil has been widely criticised for its high environmental impacts, leading to calls replace it with alternative vegetable oils in food and cosmetic products. However, substituting palm would be environmentally beneficial only if the footprint per litre were lower than those of oils. Whether this is case not obvious, given yields up 10 times crops. Here, we combine global agricultural datas...

This year marks the essential completion of the genome sequences of soybean (Glycine max), barrel medic (Medicago truncatula), and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus japonicus). The impact of these assembled, annotated genomes will be enormous. Birdsfoot trefoil and barrel medic, both forage crops, are the preeminent laboratory plants used in legume research. Monetarily, soybean is the most valuable prot...

Biodiesels, which are made from various crops, as well as animal fat, are renewable, bio-degradable, and non-toxic and are eco-friendly compared with fossil fuels. Currently, there are more than 350 oil-bearing crops identified as potential sources for biodiesel production. In this study, the potential of biodiesel obtained from a non-edible oil source (Moringa oleifera) was explored and compar...

Energy obtained from renewable sources has increased its participation in the energy matrix worldwide, and it is expected to maintain this tendency. Both in large and small scales, there have been numerous developments and research with the aim of generating fuels and energy using different raw materials such as alternative crops, algae and waste cooking oil. Capparis spinosa seed (containing 3...

INTRODUCTION Recent decades have witnessed an increase in the rate of desertification of agricultural lands. More than one-third of our planet’s land is now arid. Water for crops and an increasing human population is rapidly becoming a critically short commodity. Yet none of the major crop plants of the world is well adapted to arid lands. Efforts have been made to introduce new crops, which ar...
