Abstract

The chromosome morphology, chromosome structure, karyotype, and the chromosome set relationship in Sesamum are presented in this chapter. Besides, the modified chromosome preparation and application of BAC-FISH techniques are briefly introduced at the same time. The 13 chromosomes of S. indicum have been identified and marked using 27 BACs. A high-density cytogenetic map for sesame is constructed with 210 BACs using successive double-colored BAC-FISH. A tetraploid species S. radiatum was initially determined using the cytogenetic data. The main progress in cytogenetical research in Sesamum species provides the theoretical basis for further genomic research in Sesmaum.
