Evaluation of elite sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) lines for oil quality and quantitative traits
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is perhaps the oldest oilseed crop known and used by man. It is called as the "Queen of Oilseeds" because of its excellent qualities of the seed, oil and meal. Sesame seed is a vital nourishing food and used as a flavouring agent. Sesame oil has desirable fatty acid composition and excellent stability against oxidative rancidity. The crop has a large diversity in cultivars and cultural systems. The present investigation aims to study the variability and to evaluate the yield and oil quality traits in some elite sesame lines.
