New sesame gene discovery promises higher yields and economic growth!
The study looked at how different genes affect the yield of sesame seeds. They found that the time it takes for sesame plants to mature is mostly influenced by genes passed down from parents, while traits like plant height and seed yield are influenced by a mix of genes. The researchers tested six different types of sesame plants and found that they all had different genetic traits that could be useful for improving seed yield. Overall, the study showed that both inherited genes and new gene combinations play a role in determining how well sesame plants produce seeds.
