GENETIC VARIABILITY IN SESAME (SESAMUM INDICUM.L.)

Abstract

                                Sixty seven genotypes of sesame of indigenous and exotic origin were studied for their genetic potentialities. Twelve characters were considered for their genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance. Seed yield, capsules on primaries, capsules on secondaries and number of secondaries recorded high GCV value, heritability estimate and genetic advance. Due importance might be given in selection programme to these characters.

Key words : Sesame, Variability
