In the present investigation, At RARS, Jagtial, 68 genotypes, including three checks were evaluated for genetic diversity selection of diverse parents. Divergence studies through D2 statistic indicated presence substantial by forming large number clusters with wide range inter-cluster distance.The genotypes distributed into eight based on values. Among clusters, cluster I was largest comprising...

A total of 33 sesame genotypes including three checks were grown in Randomized Block Design replications for evaluation yield and attributing traits. Data was recorded different traits from all the viz., days to 50 % flowering, number productive branches, plant height, height 1st capsule bearing node, capsules per plant, seeds capsule, length, inter-node maturity, 1000-grain weight, cent oil yi...

Nutritional and extractable oil profile in seeds of Sesamum indicum L. Moringa oleifera Lam. were investigated using standard biochemical procedures. Proximate analysis revealed % crude protein contents 24.32% S. while M. had 27.66%. Crude lipid analyzed 47.78% was obtained 28.87% oleifera. carbohydrate with 37.89% oleifera, it 34.51%. fibre 11.32% 9.37% identified Higher ash content 9.13% 7.62...

In order to evaluate traits related to drought stress in eight sesame (sesamum indicum L.) genotypes, two experiments were carried out in randomized complete design with three replications in the field of the Research Station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Iran. The two experiments differed with respect to their irrigation regimes. Yield related traits (number of days to maturati...

Parental diversity is considered desirable to exploit heterosis in any breeding program. The present investigation was undertaken to search out whether any relationship existed between heterosis of cross combinations with phenetic divergence, combining ability and genetic divergence of parents in sesame. Seven sesame genotypes and their 21 cross combinations developed through half diallel matin...

Sesame is an important oil crop for the high oil content and quality. The seed oil and protein contents are two important traits in sesame. To identify the molecular markers associated with the seed oil and protein contents in sesame, we systematically performed the association mapping among 369 worldwide germplasm accessions under 5 environments using 112 polymorphic SSR markers. The general l...
