Abstract:Sesame seeds are important resources for relieving oxidation stress-related diseases. Although a significant variation in seeds’ antioxidant capability is observed, the underlying biochemical and molecular basis remains elusive. Thus, this study aimed to reveal major seed components and key molecular mechanisms that drive the variability of seeds’ antioxidant activity (AOA) using a panel of 400 sesame accessions. The seeds’ AOA, total flavonoid, and phenolic contents varied from 2.03 to 78.5%, 0.072 to 3.104 m… Show more
