Discussion

Diallel mating design reveals significant genetic diversity in sesame, highlighting potential for yield improvement.

Genetic analysis identifies significant variation in yield and agronomic traits among sesame genotypes, with hybrids showing superior performance.
General combining ability (GCA) analysis shows TBS-6 and TTT-1 as top combiners for seed yield and oil content attributes in sesame.
Specific combining ability (SCA) analysis uncovers promising hybrid combinations for enhancing sesame yield and oil content.
The findings support targeted breeding strategies to enhance sesame productivity in diverse agro-climatic conditions.

M. et al. (2025) studied this question.
