Abstract

The current study's objective is to characterize eight sesame genotypes (Sesamum indicum L.) using the DUS descriptors. At Adhiparasakthi Agri College, Research Farm, Kalavai, the experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in April 2023. Sesame varieties were assessed for 13 morphological features using DUS descriptors. Most of the analyzed traits showed a significant amount of variation. These differences in physical traits were useful for identifying particular sesame genotypes. The aforementioned study highlighted the distinctive qualities of sesame varieties and demonstrated that morphological variances exist in these genotypes due to variations in genetic makeup, suggesting that breeders may make greater use of these variations in the selection process based on their particular breeding programme. This is highly useful study for varietal identification and conservation.
