Abstract
In this study, some growth parameters, protein content and fatty acids properties of ten different sesame populations cultivated in Southeastern Anatolia were investigated. Protein and oil contents of the populations varied between 19.60-24.85 % and 30.16-40.36 %, respectively. Oleic acid (43.42-45.05 %), linoleic acid (38.12-39.80 %), palmitic acid (9.33-9.83 %) and stearic acid (5.33 to 5.63 %) were the predominant compounds of the seed oil. Cultivated populations exhibited significant differences in relation to seed yield, seed number per capsule, and 1000-seed weight. Furthermore, seed yield was significantly predicted by oil content and plant height according to the results of multiple linear regression analysis.
