in order to investigate the effect of crop row spacing and cocklebur (xanthium strumarium) densities on height, leaf area index and total dry matter of two sesame cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in 2009-2010 growing season at research farm of university of agricultural sciences and natural resources of gorgan, iran. the experiment was established as factorial arrangement using a ran...

response surface models predict crop yield based on crop density and this is an important tool for evaluation competition at different density and hence selection of optimum density based on yield. in order to study intra and inter specific competition in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris) and sesame (sesamum indicum), an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdo...

It is now more important than ever to be mindful that, over the last decade, the expansion by the community of science of its parameters has moved us outward, beyond individual, institutional, and national peripheries, to be more globally inclusive. Changing patterns in collaborative research networks reflect a new geography of science that is increasingly shaped by interactions between establi...

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important oilseed crop and has an indeterminate growth habit. Here we resequenced the genomes of the parents and 120 progeny of an F2 population derived from crossing Yuzhi 11 (indeterminate, Dt) and Yuzhi DS899 (determinate, dt1), and constructed an ultra-dense SNP map for sesame comprised of 3,041 bins including 30,193 SNPs in 13 linkage groups (LGs) with an ...

Intensive studies on extracts and biologically active compounds isolated from medicinal plants have doubled in the last decade worldwide. However, as a result of paucity of knowledge and folkloric claim on the effectiveness of sesame leaves in infectious disease treatments, we aimed to determine the synergistic antimicrobial activity of essential oils and lignans present in the crude leaves ext...

The addition of vegetable oils to the diets of dairy goats is an alternative to supplemental feeding during the dry period and improves the lipid profile of milk and by-products. Cheeses were produced using milk from cross bred goats (Saanen×Alpina) fed diets enriched with 4% vegetable oil (faveleira, sesame or castor), the fatty acid profile of cheeses was studied. Supplementation with vegetab...

background: in recent years, dietary fat supplementation has become a common practice and fat supplemented diets have had variable effects on animal performance and carcass characteristics. objectives: this study was conducted to determine the effect of  increasing the levels of sesame oil on performance, rumen parameters and plasma lipid profile in finishing chal lambs. methods: eighteen male ...

Objectives: In preparation for deep frying, the peroxide values and refractive indices of palm, sesame, sunflower oils were measured. The value vegetable used to fry white Indian potato chips in three batches determined after each stage frying. According findings, deep-frying significantly alters index oils. Material & Method: Medical scientific indexing sites like PubMed Google Scholar fin...
