Identification of Genomic Variations among 12 Korean Sesame Varieties

Sesame, Sesamum indicum L, is called the queen of oil seeds because of the highest oil content among oilseed crops. It is grown widely in tropical and subtropical areas. In Korea, over seventy cultivars have been developed through pure-line selection and cross-breeding etc. However, application of molecular markers or genomic information in sesame breeding is not explored widely. The purpose of this study is to identify genomic variations in Korean sesame varieties which would be used for diversity study and sesame breeding.
