Unlocking Sesame's Genetic Potential for Higher Yields and Improved Quality
The study looked at 50 different types of sesame plants to see how they vary genetically. They found that some traits like the number of capsules and seed yield showed a lot of variation among the plants. Traits like days to flowering and seed weight are mostly controlled by genes, making them good for breeding. This information is important for plant breeders to know which plants to use for improving sesame crops.
