What is the oil content of 705 sesame seeds?

Among the seeds of the 705 sesame varieties, the oil content (the weight of all oil compounds per unit weight of intact seeds) varied from 40.83% to 61.88%. We identified a total of 13 significant associations ( P <1 × 10 ?6 in mixed model).

Does sesame have a role in oil production & quality?

The genes identified in sesame for oil production and quality probably play important roles in other closely related oilseed species (for example, sunflower) as well, offering the opportunity to look for genes with common function.

Does sesame have a diploid genome?

Sesame (Sesamum indicum), an oilseed crop grown worldwide, has high oil content and a small diploid genome, but the genetic basis of oil production and quality is unclear. Here we sequence 705 diverse sesame varieties to construct a haplotype map of the sesame genome and de novo assemble two representative varieties to identify sequence variations.

Where is Sesame cultivated?

As one of the oldest crops, sesame is widely cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions 9, 10. Under long-term natural and artificial selection coupled with a wide geographic distribution, sesame has a large number of diverse varieties, which can be important resources for genetic investigation and breeding.
