Abstract

Determinacy is a desirable trait in sesame, an important oilseed crop. We have developed an inter-specific hybrid between basally branched indeterminate cultivated Sesamum indicum genotype and wild S. prostratum with no branching yet synchronous pods on the shoot. The hybrid and a few exotic sesame germplasms were successfully screened with a determinacy (dt) gene-based DNA marker. In-silico translation of the partial coding sequences of the dt gene from the two contrasting parent genotypes revealed an SNP (V159A) in S. prostratum. The predicted cytoplasmic dt protein showed a high resemblance with flowering protein centroradialis.
