Paper Summary

Researchers studied sesame plants to see how different combinations of parent plants affected the yield and traits of the offspring. They crossed four lines with three testers to create 12 new hybrids. Some hybrids showed better seed yield than the standard variety. The analysis showed that both genetic factors and interactions between parent plants influenced the traits. Two parent plants, AT 238 and JCS 2698, had a strong positive effect on seed yield. Five hybrids had a significant positive effect on seed yield, with the best performers being AT 238 x DSS-9, AT 238 x DS-5, and TKG 506 x DSS-9.
