Abstract
The Sesame Genome Working Group sequenced the genomes of the six wild Sesamum species, i.e., S. alatum (2n = 26, var. 3651), S. latifollum (2n = 32, var. KEN1), S. angolense (2n = 32, var. K16), S. calycinum (2n = 32, var. KEN8), S. angustifolium (2n = 32, var. G01), and S. radiatum (2n = 64, var. G02), which cover all three types of the basic chromosome number of the genus Sesamum. We describe the complicated sequencing and assembly strategies for the wild species and the first interspecific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genetic map for Sesamum. The chromosome-scaled genome assemblies of the six wild Sesamum species are deliberated in this chapter.
