Özet

© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.Sesame is an important oilseed crop that has high oil and protein content and unique antioxidant lignans. Capsule shattering at harvest is one of the most important problems affecting sesame production, with seed losses of up to 50%, making the crop unsuitable for mechanized harvesting. This paper provides an overview of breeding approaches addressing the capsule shattering trait in sesame and gives an outlook about the future perspectives of improvement for this trait. Sesame research has proceeded along the following parallel tracks: breeding for additional shatter resistance for manual harvest, breeding for mechanized harvest, and using molecular biology to improve the shatter resistance trait. In the future, genes controlling the shattering trait should be studied with techniques like RNA interference (RNAi), site-oriented mutagenesis, and gene editing with zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) or CRISPR/Cas9, to develop new sesame varieties with capsules suitable for fully mechanized harvest.
