Molecular Diversity and Agronomic Performance of Sesame () Cultivars in Benin: Local Cultivars and Lines Introduced From China.

Sesame cultivation was until recently restricted to the northwestern part of Benin. The yield is relatively low, as there are no improved varieties introduced and widely adopted so far. This study aimed to assess the molecular diversity, genetic differentiation, and the agronomic performance of a collection of local cultivars and introduced lines of sesame from China.

Genotype × environment interaction and stability analysis for seed yield and yield components in sesame ( L.) in Benin Republic using AMMI, GGE biplot and MTSI.

Increasing production requires the development of high yielding cultivars adapted to various environments. Multi-environment trials (MET) remains the best approach to assess the performance of accessions across environments. The objective of this study was to select the best performing and stable accessions of sesame across different environments in Benin Republic.
