Abstract excerpt
Sesame, one of the earliest cultivated oil crops in human history, holds a distinguished place due to its high oil content, rich flavor, and distinctive nutty aroma. In this study, we performed whole-genome resequencing on five Egyptian sesame genotypes (Shandaweel 3, Toshky1, and three gamma-irradiated mutant lines). Additionally, we incorporated 19 publicly available sesame genome datasets from the NCBI...
