Abstract

This research was conducted to assess the extent and pattern of genetic variability and diversity among sesame accessions. A total of 64 sesame Accessions were evaluated in 8 x 8 lattice design with two replications at Werer Agricultural Research Center. Analysis of variance revealed that there was a statistically significant difference among the accessions for all traits except for 50% days to emergence and the number of seeds per pod. Principal components analysis showed the first five principal components viz. principal component one (21.9%), principal component two (11.00%), principal component three (15.6%), principal component four (18.3%), and principal component five (9.5) with a total contribution of 76.3% variation. The dendrogram was constructed using the Unweighted Pair-group Method with Arithmetic Means to separate Accessions into five distinct clusters. Sesame accessions with high seed yield and high mean values for other desirable traits were grouped into Cluster I and Cluster V. Cluster IV and Cluster V had the highest inter-cluster distance. Accession in Cluster V (Acc.241297) could be crossed with other clusters to come up with promising segregation for further improvement programs.
