INTRODUCTION

• Scientific name: Sesamum indicum

• Family: Pedaliaceae

• Chromosome number : 2n=2x=26

• Other names : Til, Gingelly, Tila, Ellu,..

Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, Chamarajanagara 2


IMPORTANCE
• One of the oldest oil yielding crop.
• Oil content : 37-52%.
• Oil Rich in protein(20%), vitamin-E.
• Used for edible purpose, and also in soap
manufacture.
• Oil is property of high stability.
• Also used for culinary purpose and in bakery
industry.

ORIGIN & DISTRIBUTION
• Tropical Africa is considered as Primary centre of
origin.

• Secondary origin : India

• Sesame is distributed in the centers of Asia minor and


Mediterranean region.

• Crop is cultivated in Africa, Middle east, India,


Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Myanmar,
South-east countries.

PROGINATORS
• Sesamum angustifolium

• S. radiatum

• S. alatum

WILD RELATIVE (Progenitor)
1. S. alatum 2n = 26
Resistant to phyllody S. alatum x S. indicum alatum is
having dormancy.
2. S. malabaricum (2n = 26) Occurs in Travancore of Kerala.
It freely crosses with cultivated gingelly. Oil content is low
32% It is utilised to induce male sterility in cultivated
sesame
3. S. laciniatum 2n = 32: Tolerant to phyllody, drought and
jassid resistant. Fertile auto allopolyploid produced by
crossing S. indicum x S. laciniatum—F1 Sterile
4. S. prostratum occurs in S. India (2n = 26)
Tolerant to drought.

Breeding objectives :
1. Breeding high yielding varieties tolerant to drought.
2. Breeding white seeded varieties
Finest quality of oil is obtained from white seeded lines.
3. Development of mono stemmed varieties.
By this more population per unit area and yield can be
increased. Monostemmed varieties are low yielders.
4. Development of multicapsule / axil and multicarpellary
varieties.
5. Rice fallow varieties : Shorter in duration.
6. Non- shattering varieties: African lines.
7. Resistant to disease
Powdery mildew; Phyllody - transfer from wild species.
Dr. Mamata K, Dept. of GPB, Chamarajanagara 7
BREEDING METHODS :
1. Introduction : African lines.
2. Pure line selection. TMV6 - Andhra local.
3. Hybridization and selection.
a) Inter varietial
b) Inter specific : Male sterile lines evolved by crossing
with S.malabaricum.
4. Population improvement
5. Poly ploidy breeding
6. Heterosis breeding
Epipetalous nature makes emasculation and crossing easier
Use of CMS lines is also being attempted.
7. Embryo rescue technique.
Varieties Gouri, Madhavi, Rajeshwari, Swetha
