Abstract

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L, 2n = 2x = 26) is one of the ancient and most important oilseed crops, extensively cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Due to its high oil quality and content, rich in vitamins and minerals, ingredients of medical products, antioxidant resistance as well as the main component in the production of soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, and insecticides, sesame is considered as the queen of oilseeds. In spite of its industrial, economical, medicinal and nutritional importance, sesame is considered as an orphan crop as very limited attention has been given from science, academia, industry and policy-makers. In recent years, the situation has substantially changed due to significant development in molecular markers. In this regard, numerous studies have been conducted on molecular markers and their importance in marker-assisted breeding, genetic conservation and genetic diversity. This paper, therefore, aims to review research advances and prospects of molecular markers employed so far for sesame genetic diversity and conservation studies. In this section, we present a review on different molecular techniques which were developed and used for sesame genetic improvement. We also pinpoint the progress of different molecular markers targeted for genetic diversity studies, germplasm conservation, cultivar identification, determination of genetic variation, construction of genetic linkage maps, identification of QTLs/genes and discovery of molecular markers using freely available online databases. Finally, this review identifies hot topics and upcoming directions for future sesame improvement programs.
