Abstract
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a self-pollinating oilseed plant (2n=2x=26), which is the oldest oilseed known to humankind and the queen of oilseeds. Sesame is a cheap source of protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. Sesame seeds contain 50-60% oil rich in vitamin E and several important antioxidant compounds such as sesamol, sesamin and sesamulin, showing medical and medicinal properties. In South Khorasan, sesame is currently grown either as a single crop or as a mixed with beetroot and cotton on a small scale. No research has been done on sesame in this region yet. Although the genetic understanding of traits is necessary for a higher yield breeding program, there is little information available on the morphological and developmental characteristics of sesame.
