  • Patent number: 11044884
    Abstract: High yield sesame plants and parts thereof are provided. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of many sesame varieties was performed to derive markers for phenotypic traits that contribute to high yield, and a breeding simulation was used to identify the most common and most stable markers. Examples for such phenotypic traits include the number of capsules per leaf axil, the capsule length, the height to first capsule and the number of lateral shoots. Following verification of trait stability over several generations, markers and marker cassettes were defined as being uniquely present in the developed sesame lines. The resulting high yield, shatter-resistant sesame lines can be used to increase sesame yield for its various uses.
