“…Iron content, in our studies, did not differ due to planting dates. Protein availability in developing countries at present is about one-third of its normal requirements and with ever growing human population; various nutritional development programs are facing a tough challenge to meet the targeted protein demand (Saxena et al, 2010). Protein content, in our studies, was 12.5% greater from earlier planting (27 vs. 24% during 2011) as compared to late planting.…”

This study was conducted to determine if sesame (Sesamum indicum L., Pedaliaceae) could be grown in Virginia. Five proprietary sesame cultivars (22K, S26, S28, S30, and S32) were planted on May 23 and June 8 during 2011 and on July 9 and July 17 during 2012 using two row spacings (37.5 or 75 cm). Effects of cultivars and row spacings on seed yield, and contents of protein and minerals were, generally, non-significant. Effects of planting dates were significant for most traits under study except for contents of Fe and Al. Contents (averaged over two years, five cultivars, two row spacing, four planting dates, and two years) of protein (%), P (%), K (%), S (%), Ca (%), Mg (%), Na (%), Fe 26, 0.67, 0.51, 0.32, 1.12, 0.33, 0.02, 110, 24, 29, 17, 68, and 13, respectively. It was concluded that earlier planting dates using either 37.5 or 75 cm space between rows are desirable for sesame production in Virginia. Mean seed yield in these studies was 1282 kg . ha -1 . Highest seed yields were obtained using closer row spacings and early plantings. The results indicated that sesame could be easily produced as a commercial crop in Virginia.

“…In addition, C. cajan roots were found to contain genistein, genistin, a-amyrin, b-amryin, b-sitosterol, the menstrual period, and dysentery (Duke & Vasquez, 1994). Cajanus cajan seeds, in Africa, are used for treating hepatitis and measles (Abbiw, 1990), in Mexico, used as styptic drug and laxative; while in China, these are used to arrest bleeding, relieve pain, kill the worms, and as an expectorant and sedative drug (Saxena et al, 2010;Tang et al, 1999).…”

Context: Cajanus cajan L. (Fabaceae), a food crop, is widely used in traditional medicine. Objectives: The phytochemical composition of C. cajan seeds and evaluation of the antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, antinociceptive, and antioxidant activities were studied. Materials and methods: Unsaponifiable matter and fatty acids were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The n-butanol fraction was chromatographed on polyamide column. The anti-inflammatory activity of hexane extract (200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) was evaluated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema at 1, 2, and 3 h. The serum tumor necrosis factor-a, interleukin-6, and immunoglobulin G levels were detected by ELISA. The hexane extract antinociceptive activity was determined by adopting the writhing test in mice. DPPH radical scavenging, total reduction capability, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation of butanol fraction were evaluated. Results and conclusion: Twenty-one unsaponifiable compounds (mainly phytol, 2,6-di-(t-butyl)-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-one, b-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol), as well as 12 fatty acids (primarily 9,12-octadecadienoic and palmitic acids) were identified in hexane extract of C. cajan seeds. n-BuOH fraction contains quercetin-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside, orientin, vitexin, quercetin, luteolin, apigenin, and isorhamnetin. For the first time, quercetin-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside is isolated from C. cajan plant. The hexane extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) inhibited carrageenaninduced inflammation by 85 and 95%, respectively, 3 h post-carrageenan challenge. This was accompanied by an 11 and 20%, 8 and 13%, respectively, decrease of TNF-a and IL-6, as well as significant decrease in IgG serum levels. Moreover, hexane extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) decreased the number of writhings by 61 and 83%, respectively. The butanol fraction showed DPPH radical scavenging (inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) value: 9.07 mg/ml). ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Beside its high nutritional value, pigeon pea is also used as traditional folk medicine in India, China and some other countries. Literature on this aspect show that pigeon pea is capable of preventing and curing a number of human ailments such as cough, pneumonia, respiratory infections, dysentery, tooth ache, wounds among others (Saxena et al, 2010).…”
