Morphological and Yield-Related Performance of Some Sesame Populations Originating from Southeastern Anatolia

In this study, some growth parameters, protein content and fatty acids properties of ten different sesame populations cultivated in Southeastern Anatolia were investigated. Protein oil contents the varied between 19.60-24.85 % 30.16-40.36 %, respectively. Oleic acid (43.42-45.05 %), linoleic (38.12-39.80 palmitic (9.33-9.83 %) stearic (5.33 to 5.63 predominant compounds seed oil. Cultivated exhibited significant differences relation yield, number per capsule, 1000-seed weight. Furthermore, yield was significantly predicted by plant height according results multiple linear regression analysis.
