Sesame production and productivity are severely constrained by a lack of high-yielding and
locally adapted varieties, susceptibility to capsule shattering and low seed retention, biotic …

Sesame is predominantly cultivated in rainfed and low fertile lands and is frequently
exposed to terminal drought. Sesamum species inhabiting dryland ecosystems adaptively …

Sesame is an important ancient oilseed crop of high medicinal value. In the present study,
37 characters including both quantitative and qualitative traits of sixty genotypes were …

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L, 2 n= 2 x= 26) is one of the ancient and most important
oilseed crops, extensively cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Due to its high oil …

The evaluation of phenotypic variability, heritability, genetic advance and diversity in
germplasm collections is important for both plant breeders and germplasm curators to …

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important ancient oilseed crop with high oil content
(OC) and quality. The direct selection to improve OC of sesame (OCS) due to low heritability …

A selection of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) landraces of different eco-geographical origin
and breeding history have been characterized using 28 qualitative morpho-physiological …

Sesamum indicum L. of the Pedaliaceae family is considered an economically important oil-
bearing plant that has been cultivated for more than 5000 years. In this research, we …

Genetic diversity of traditional sesame landraces and related wild species in East Africa
remains largely unexplored. Knowing what fraction of the available genetic diversity is …

Drought during the formative stages of a plant's growth triggers a sequence of responses to
maintain optimal growing conditions, but often at the expense of crop productivity. Two field …
