New sesame hybrids show potential for higher seed yield and profits!
The study looked at how different sesame plants can be crossed to create new plants with higher seed yield. They found that some combinations of plants produced seeds with significantly more yield than their parents. Some crosses showed up to 49.53% increase in seed yield. The researchers identified five specific crosses that were the most promising for increasing seed yield and other important traits like plant height and seed weight. These findings suggest that by carefully selecting which plants to cross, we can create new sesame plants that produce more seeds and grow better.
