Abstract

This study was conducted during 2018 and 2019 growing seasons at the Experimental area of Cukurova University, Faculty of Agriculture in Mediterranean region (Adana, Turkey). The objective of this study was to compare of oil content and fatty acids composition of sesame varieties grown as a main and double crop. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block with three replications. Arslanbey, Batem-Aksu, Batem-Uzun, Baydar-2001, Boydak, Cumhuriyet-99, Golmarmara, Hatipoglu, Kepsut-99, Muganli-57, Orhangazi-57, Osmanli-99, Ozberk-82, Sarisu, Tan-99, Tanas and Sari Susam genotypes were used as a plant material in this study. These varieties were registered by the different Research Institutes and Faculties in Turkey. Oil content and fatty acids composition (oleic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid and palmitic acid) of sesame varieties were investigated and compared in main and double crop growing seasons.
