Abstract

In a ten-parent diallel olsesame (Sesamum indicum L.), 21 cross combinations gave significant heterosis for seed yield. Mean heterosis was high for number of capsules and branches/plant and low lor plant height and capsule length. Heterosis for grain yield and its component characters was highly correlated. In general, crosses with significant heterosis also showed significant inbreeding depression in F2.
