Seed implicated in a magical opening? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sesame

(Other definitions for sesame that I've seen before include "Open . . . . . . cries the magician" , "Password of the Arabian Nights" , "Oil plant from Ali Baba's cry" , "Seed used in flavouring" , "Small oval seeds yielding an edible oil" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
