“…Sesame (Sesame indicum L.), also called Benniseed, is an oil seed cultivated in many parts of the world including Nigeria. In Nigeria, sesame cultivation is limited to the savannah/arid regions and two varieties are usually produced by farmers: the white (food grade) and brown/mixed seeds (mainly used for oil) [8]. In 2007, Nigeria ranked among the five largest producers of the crop-contributing to the 26 % quota of sesame produced within Africa [9].…”

We investigated 16 fonio millet and 17 sesame samples by LC/ESI-MS/MS for the spectrum of microbial metabolites contaminating these seeds. Forty-eight fungal and four bacterial metabolites were detected in fonio, while 28 fungal and two bacterial metabolites were found in sesame. Altogether, 55 metabolites were identified in both grains, 18 of which are reported for the first time to naturally occur in cereals and oil seeds. The metabolite concentrations reached 7,280 lg/kg in fonio for aurofusarin and 64,600 lg/kg in sesame for kojic acid. Aflatoxin contaminated 81 % of fonio samples at concentrations less than the 4 lg/kg maximum allowable limit (MAL) set by European Union (EU). In contrast, aflatoxin was not detected in sesame. Zearalenone levels exceeded the EU MAL (75 lg/kg) in one sample of fonio (987 lg/kg). About 62.5 % (30 out of 48) of the metabolites without regulations occurred in more than 50 % of samples of one or both seeds, while 3-nitropropionic acid, beauvericin, brevianamid F, curvularin, emodin, equisetin, macrosporin A, monocerin and tenuazonic acid were the most prevalent, occurring in all samples of either fonio, sesame or both. This is the first study reporting mycotoxin contamination in sesame in Nigeria and the broad range of microbial metabolites in millet and sesame.

“…Recent archeological remnants suggest that the cultivated sesame evolved from wild species in the Indian subcontinent during Harappan civilization and spread west to Mesopotamia before 2000 B.C (Fuller, 2003). Some report claims sesame was first cultivated in Africa and later spread to India at a very early time (Alegbejo et al, 2003;Purseglove, 1969). According to Tunde-Akintunde et al (2012), sesame was grown as a main oil crop in Indus valley civilization and then spread to Mesopotamia around 2500 B.C.…”

Eight sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes were crossed in a half diallel mating fashion. The analysis of variance for combining ability revealed that the mean sum of squares are due to the general combining ability were highly significant for all the traits. The t 2 test specified the fulfillment of assumptions required under diallel analysis for all the traits studied except the number of effective branches per plant, capsule length (cm) and harvest index (%). The component D measures the additive effects of genes. It was significant for all the traits except seed yield per plant and harvest index. The components H 1 and H 2 were significant for all the traits except days to maturity revealing the importance of fixable and non-fixable component. Greater values of H 1 than H 2 and the ratio of H 2 /4H 1 (< 0.25) confirmed the unbalanced distribution of gene at the loci in the parents' implying dominance for all the traits. It was also confirmed by greater than one value of KD/KR components for all the traits which suggested the higher frequency of dominant genes than recessive genes in the parents. The component F was significant for days to flowering, days to maturity, capsule length, oil content and leaf area per plant. The graphical analysis showed the regression line intercepted Wr axis below the origin indicating over dominance for plant height, the number of seed per capsule, oil content and leaf area per plant. The regression line intercepted the positive side of Wr axis for days to maturity which implies the presence of partial dominance.

“…The seed yield of any plant is a combination of the quantitative character beneath a range of ecological factors, which perhaps influences its production. Ecological factors (climatic factors such as temperature, rainfall), and agricultural practices (such as plant populations, plant density, and sowing date) are one of the most important factors that affect the productivity of sesame plants (Geleta et al, 2002;Adebisi, 2004;Ozturk and Saman, 2012), the more important of them being the yield per plant and number of plants per area (Alegbejo et al, 2003). Adverse environmental conditions limit sesame plasticity, requiring an increase in plant density to offset the reduction in the branching ability (Carciochi et al, 2019).…”

Plant density is one of the most important factors influencing the physiological, morphological characteristics, and yield of sesame. Sesame is an important oilseed and cash crop production in Sudan. The effects of different rows spacing on the growth attributes, yield and yield compound on three sesame seeds varieties were investigated at rainfall conditions in semi-arid regions. Two field experiments were conducted in 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. Three varieties were planted at four rows spacing [5(control), 10, 20 and 30cm]. The experiment was laid out in RCBD in split plots with three replications. There were significant differences between row spacing, varieties and interaction between row spacing and varieties for all parameters except the 1000 seeds weight. Moreover, Abo Nama has recorded the highest plants, number of branches and number of capsules per plant, while the abo Radom recorded the highest number of seeds per capsule and seed yield, and abo sofa had the highest weight of 1000 seeds. Planted varieties at the 5 cm between rows can increase the seed yield (210.18 kg/h). The interaction between Abo Radom and control recorded the high seed yield by 265.30 kg per h-1. This study suggests that the appropriate rows spacing can actively increase the yield of the sesame plant.
