Article Synopsis
- Sesame seeds have significant nutritional benefits and medicinal properties, making the development of high-quality varieties essential for health and economic efficiency.
- The study focused on evaluating the nutritional value and antioxidant properties of M sesame mutants compared to wild cultivars, measuring components like proteins, sugars, and phenolic content.
- Results indicated that certain mutants showed improved antioxidant activity and nutrient content, suggesting that mutagenesis can enhance the nutritional quality of sesame, potentially aiding in disease prevention.

In the context of climate change and water scarcity, there is a need to develop and use drought-tolerant sesame cultivars. This study was conducted to evaluate the response of 13 sesame genotypes, including 11 mutants and their wild-types, to drought during germination and early seedling growth. Moderate and severe drought stress was simulated by applying polyethylene glycol (PEG) at two osmotic potentials, -0.
