Evaluation of Phytophthora Blight Resistance of Sesame Germplasm and Analysis of the Heritability in Segregating Population

Phytophthora blight disease, occurred by Phytophthora nicotianae is one of the serious diseases which causes the huge loss of yield in sesame cultivation. In this study, we evaluated the resistance for Phytophthora blight in sesame germplasms by screening with artificial inoculation. Also, with F2 populations of resistance ‘Goenbaek’ by susceptible ‘Milsung’, and ‘Goenbaek’ by ‘Osan’, we conducted the screening to determine the segregating ratio of the disease.
