Plant Materials
NUS 2013 Conference
�Thirty accessions from the National Cereals Research Institute(NCRI) Badeggi, Nigeria.
�Seeds were grown in pots at the FABI, University of Pretoria using growth media and Hoagland’s nutrient solution.
DNA extraction
NUS 2013 Conference
�DNA was extracted from leaves plant/seed DNA KITTM D6020.
�DNA concentration and purity was determined using nanometer.
� Integrity of the DNA was confirmed by 2% Agarose gel electrophoresis.
SSR(s) Analysis
� Two primer pairs were used.
� PCR (20μL) included 20 ng genomic DNA, 2 ul of 10×PCR buffer, 2 ul of 25mM MgCl2, 0.5 ul of 10mM dNTP, 0.5ul of 25uM of each primer and 0.1ul of 5unit/ul Taq polymerase.
� PCR profile: 94°C for 3 mins. (pre-heating),35 cycles at 94°C for30 secs (denaturing), 55–60 °C for 45 secs (annealing), 72°C for 30 secs. with a final extension at 72°C for 10 mins. and stored at - 4 °C.
� Amplified products were resolved on 2% agarose gel, visualized under UV light and photographed

Summary
� Sesame provides excellent food, nutrition, health care, edible oil and phytochemicals.
� SSRs distinguished the tested accessions into 6 main clusters and 2 other cultivars.
� Accessions formed clusters and sub-clusters in relation to phytochemicals.
� Tannins; flavonoids; saponins; alkaloids and ; cynogenic glycoside were determined.
� Significant variability was found in these phytochemicals among the tested cultivars (p < 0.001)
Policy Implications
� This study investigated, first time any possible association btw phytochemical and genetic diversity sesame accessions to identify accessions for selection and exploitation in plant breeding programs and health care.
� Presently, petroleum production brought easy and windfall earnings, which diverted Nigeria’s attention and encouraged the neglect and underutilization of sesame.
� Nigerian sesame has high oil content for bakery and confectionery and Nigeria plays a strategic role in the stability of sub-Saharan Africa
�Policy and capacity building should appraise and evaluate the research, trials and extension services available to the sesame sector
�This will encourage self-sufficiency in food and raw materials for industries and improve the socio-economic welfare of rural people and diversification of the sources of foreign exchange and create jobs.
