Abstract

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an important but underexploited oilseed crop of tropical and subtropical region having potential to sustain agriculture under changing climatic conditions. Sesame oils have high nutritional and industrial values due to its desirable fatty acid compositions and high amount of antioxidant components, viz., sesamin and sesamolin. Despite this, still sesame is not grown on large acreage due to unavailability of high-yielding cultivars with inbuilt resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, serious efforts are necessary to develop cultivars having high adaptive potential to the diverse climatic situations along with high yield potential. Classical plant breeding methods impart considerable improvement in sesame, but still a huge gap is left between realized and actual yield potential of sesame. Therefore, efforts should be made toward modern molecular techniques like marker-assisted plant breeding and omics and modern bioinformatics tools to develop climate adaptive, high yield potential along with excellent oil quality cultivars in sesame.
