TABLE 1.

Genomic heritability estimates of the nine agronomic sesame traits (h ²), genetic correlations (r _g ), sample phenotypic correlations (r _y ), and variance-components derived phenotypic correlations $(r_y^{\prime })$ between the two environment using the marker-by-environment interaction model. Flowering date (FD), height to the first capsule (HTFC), plant height (PH), reproductive zone (RZ), reproductive index (RI), number of branches per plant (NBPP), seed-yield per plant (SYPP), seeds number per plant (SNPP), and thousand-seed weight (TSW).
