Paper Summary

Sesame plants in India produce low seed yield, so researchers studied 21 advanced sesame lines and 8 parent plants to find traits that increase seed yield. They found that more branches, capsules, seeds per capsule, and heavier seeds are linked to higher yield. This means selecting sesame plants with these traits can improve seed yield in the future.
