Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oil crops and is widely cultivated in Asia and Africa. Characterization and quantification of genetic diversity has long been a major goal in evolutionary biology. Information on the genetic diversity within and among closely related crop varieties is essential for a rational use of genetic resources. The analysis of genetic variation within and among elite breeding materials is of fundamental interest to plant breeders. It contributes to monitoring of germplasm and can also be used to predict potential genetic gains. To determine the level of diversity in relation to geographical origins and morphological characteristics, a total of 60 accessions have been collected from different parts of the India were analyzed using statistical techniques for thirteen quantitative and four qualitative parameters using D2 analysis. Number of seeds per capsule contributed highest towards the divergence. The distribution pattern of genotypes in different clusters indicated that genetic divergence was not related to geographical differentiation.
