Abstract

Genotypic coefficient of variation, heritability and genetic advance were assessed in 50 genotypes of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). The differences between the genotypes were highly significant for all the 15 characters studied. Among the characters, number of capsules per branch had high heritability combined with high genetic advance while seed number per capsule, DMP and first capsule bearing node had high heritability with medium genetic advance. These traits are the most suitable for improvement through selection

Keywords: Sesame, Variability, Heritability, Genetic advance.
