Abstract

IntroductionSesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is a diploid with 2n=2X=26 chromosomes; a self-pollinated crop which belongs to the family of pedaliaceae.Though its origin is believed to be in Indian subcontinent (Bedigian and Harlan, 1986); it has high genetic diversity in east Africa, Ethiopia.The presence of weedy or wild forms of sesame (S. alatum; 2n=26 and S. latifolium, 2n=32) in Ethiopia shows that it is indigenous to this country.It is one of the oldest and most important traditional oilseed crops of the world.
