Abstract：The relationship of sesame yield per plant and its components with main agronomic traits were studied by correlation and gray correlation analysis .The results showed that capsule number per plant was the most important determinant of sesame yield per plant .On agronomic traits , the effective capsule , capsule axis length , number of capsule nodes per plant were closely linked with sesame yield per plant and its components . On growth period , the squaring and mature periods were closely related to sesame yield per plant and its com-ponents.Thus, breeding of new sesame varieties should focus on the strains with earlier squaring and flowering period, longer growth period , longer capsule axis , more capsule nodes , more capsules per plant , especially more effective capsules .
