Abstract
ABSTRACT Extreme rainfall events have increased in recent decades because of global warming, and sesame ( Sesamum indicum L.) is sensitive to waterlogging stress. The study aimed to (i) identify traits associated with waterlogging stress tolerance during the seedling and flowering stages of sesame and (ii) quantify the effects of foliar spray of 100 μM melatonin on increasing the seed yield of waterlogged stressed plants. Experiments were conducted to quantify the effects of waterlogging stress during the seedling and flowering stages using 35 genotypes. The third and fourth experiments were conducted to mitigate waterlogging stress by foliar spraying with 100 μM melatonin. Compared to the irrigated control, waterlogging stress during the seedling stage decreased the stay‐green score (72%) and survival percentage of the seedlings (61.4%). Similarly, at the flowering stage, waterlogging stress decreased the pod‐set percentage (68%), the number of seeds per capsule (29%) and seed yield per plant (16%). A strong correlation existed between the stay‐green score and seedling survival percentage ( r 2 = 0.75). Similarly, a strong correlation existed between pod‐set percentage and seed yield plant −1 ( r 2 = 0.64). Among the genotypes, VRI 1 and NIC 8252 were identified as stress‐tolerant, and Co‐1 and SI‐1771 were susceptible. Under waterlogging stress, foliar spray of melatonin during seedling and flowering stages increased the number of seedling survival m −2 (65%) and pod‐set percentage (66%), respectively, over the unsprayed control, resulting in an increased seed yield. Overall, sesame seed yield under waterlogging stress can be improved by developing lines with high pod‐set percentage and/or by foliar application of 100 μM melatonin.
