A study was carried out by using 45 genotypes of sesame at Seed Research and Technology Centre, Hyderabad during 2018 to evaluate the genetic variability, morphological clustering Metroglyph identify principle components having a major contribution total variation. Analysis variance indicated appreciable variation among for traits. The Julang Sesame NI8-8316 recorded highest average performance...

To enhance the distribution of their seeds, plants often utilize hygroscopic deformations that actuate dispersal mechanisms. Such movements are based on desiccation-induced shrinkage of tissues in predefined directions. The basic hygroscopic deformations are typically actuated by a bi-layer configuration, in which shrinking of an active tissue layer is resisted by a stiff layer, generating a se...
