Inheritance of Plant Height and Capsule Length in Sesame, Sesamum Indicum L.

Synopsis: Inheritance of plant height was found to be controlled by 3 to 10 factors, most of which produced complete dominance of tall plants. Heritability of this character was estimated to be in the range of 40 to 50%. Inheritance of capsule length was found to be controlled by 2 to 5 factors. Dominance of genes for both short and long capsules was indicated. Heritability of this character was estimated to be in the range of 50 to 70%. Corrections between characters were highly significant, but of low magnitude.
