SESAME............................... 105 LIST OF SESAME/SAFFLOWER WORKERS............. 110 PORE WORD Following the first issue of the Sesame and Safflower Newsletter which had a fair level of participation of researchers around the world, the publication of this second issue will continue with the task of promoting the flow and exchange of information on different aspects of these two important oil crops. The annual publication of this Newsletter was one Sf the recommendations of the first FAO sesame and safflower expert consultation held in Viterbo, Italy, in December of 1984. This recommendation was accomplished with success in 1985 with the publication of the first combined Newsletter edited by Prof. A. Ashri who made an excelent job. In the present issue, the level of participation has increased, including a total of 15 reports and short papers and 22 abstract of thesis or new papers. It is hoped that this increasing participation will continue in the future contributing to the improvement of these neglected oil crops. The structure of the present iS$ue is, in general, similar to the first one. In addition to the articles and abstracts of new papers I have included selected citations of sesame and safflower papers in the period 1984-85 to complete the citations of the first Newsletter which included the period 1980-84. I have also included an additional list of experts in sesame and safflower. I wish to thank to all the contributors who made possible this second issue and at the same time I would like to ask to the experts arround the world for new publishable material for the coming ones. I would like to thank specially to Dr. C. Pineda of the FAO who coordinated the obtention of the material of the Newsletter and helped with his suggestions and interest. Thanks are also given to my colleages from the Center of Cordoba Mr. F. Insua and Mr. J. Dominguez for their comments in the preparation of the manuscript and to Mrs. M. Lopez Villarrubia for the typing. J. Fernandez Martinez, Editor -2- NOTICES TO READERS Contributions for the 1987 edition of the sesame and safflower newsletter.

Although, it is cultivated and consumed in many regions of the country, it is still unfortunately neglected by scientific research. In order to fill in the knowledge gaps necessary for its varietal improvement, 16 accessions collected from different agro-ecological zones were characterized using 16 quantitative morphological traits. A significant variability was found among the accessions.

Aoki) Abstract Lignan is a large class of plant secondary metabolites, which has long attracted pharmacological interest because of its anti-tumor and estrogenic activities. Forsythia plants are known to produce a wide variety of lignans, such as (Ϫ)-matairesinol, (Ϫ)-secoisolariciresinol, (ϩ)-pinoresinol, and (ϩ)-phillygenin. The majority of such lignans are accumulated in glucoside forms. However, their glucosylation mechanisms largely remain to be elucidated. Here we describe the sequence, enzymatic activities, and gene expression profiles of UDP-sugar dependent-glycosyltransferases (UGT) from Forsythia koreana through a reverse-genetic approach. A Forsythia UGT, UGT71A18 protein, expressed in E. coli, preferentially glucosylated furofuran-class lignans, including (ϩ)-pinoreisnol, (ϩ)-epipinoreisnol, and (ϩ)- phylligenin. Moroeover, the recombinant UGT71A18 exhibited specificity to UDP-glucose as a glycosyl donor. Gene expression analysis revealed that UGT71A18 is expressed predominantly in leaves and the suspension cell culture of F.

Vol. 2(1), pp. 7-11, 31 January, 2014 E-ISSN: 2311-732X Effect of plant maturity on the antinutritent of Sesamum radiatum leaves Oduntan AO*, Olaleye O, Akinwande BA and Fasoyiro SB Corresponding Author: Oduntan AO Received: 25 December, 2013 Accepted: 10 January, 2014 Published: 31 January, 2014 A B S T R A C T This study investigated the effect of maturity on the some antinutritional factors of Sesamum radiatum leaves. Sesamum radiatum seeds were sown on an unfertilized land and the leaves were harvested on weekly basis from the fourth to the tenth week after planting (WAP) when s enenescence has started setting in. Phytate, tannin and oxalate of the plant were determined using A.O.A.C standard methods. The results obtained showed that the tannin ranges between 1.20 mg/100g – 5.60mg/100g, phytate ranges between 1.65 mg/100g – 3.82 mg/100g and oxalate increase from 4WAP (2.84 mg/100g) to 10WAP (4.64 mg/100g). The antinutritional factors were significantly (p< 0.05) affected by the maturity of the leaves. Furthermore, oxalate increase with increase in mat urity of the leaves. The study indicated that as the leaf matures the antinutrient increases. The optimum value for tannin, oxalate and phytate for human use was observed at 9 WAP.

INTRODUCTION Sesamum radiatum belongs to the family Pedaliaceae, It is a leafy vegetable locally called Ekuku gogoro in Yoruba language, beni or gingelly (English), ‘ridi’ (Hausa) (Gill, 1992) and belonging to the group of indigenous vegetables that grow in small quantity in the rural areas.

The data were collected by the researcher using the prepared check – list. Field trips were made to villages within the study area. A total of 200 willing respondents were interviewed. Information regarding the common uses of some plant species for various ethno – medicinal and cultural purposes were investigated. Vernacular names of the described species were also of interest. The respondents assisted in the collection and identification of plant samples. Standard literatures and floras were consulted for their proper identification. The data obtained were collated and tabulated showing botanical names, common names, vernacular or tribal names, families, uses and parts used. It was discovered that to protect our future planet and generation there is need to document this vital information and also create awareness or enlightenment

Koeduka) Abstract (+)-Sesamin is a major furofran-class lignan in sesame seeds and harbors characteristic two methylenedioxy bridges (MDB) that are sequentially formed from (+)-pinoresinol via (+)-piperitol by a Sesamum indicum P450, CYP81Q1. However, the molecular basis for this unique catalytic activity of CYP81Q1 has been poorly understood. To elucidate MDB formation, we tested various natural and non-natural metabolites as substrates for CYP81Q1. A synthetic (+)-SC1mr and a naturally occurring (+)-kobusin showed inhibitory effect on the production of (+)-sesamin by CYP81Q1 unlike (+)-epipinoresinol and (−)-pinoresinol, indicating the strict diastereomer and enantiomer selectivity. Homology modeling followed by site-directed mutagenesis of CYP81Q1 showed that an amino acid residue crucial for MDB formation is a unique Ala residue (A308), located in I-helix proximal to the substrate pocket, responsible to the conserved distal-Thr residue.

Strips of Taenia caeci were rapidly removed from guinea-pig and were suspended between two L-shaped stainless steel hooks in a 10 ml organ bath with Mac Ewen solution. The isometric contractile force of the Taenia caeci strips were recorded by using a strain gauge. S. radiatum aqueous leaf extract (ESera) is a spasmogenic substance. This myostimulant effect is characterized by the increase of the rhythm and the amplitude of isolated guinea-pig Taenia caeci smooth muscle in normal solution and by the development of contracture in modified solution and in solution without calcium. A similar effect was observed with ACh which caused a graded increase of the contractile activity of Taenia caeci.
