Inherent variability in growth and development of two ecotypes of sesame plant (Sesamum sp.) in Malaysia

Differences in the growth and development of sesame ecotypes growing sporadically as uncultivated plant in dissimilar agro-ecological and habitat conditions of Serdang and Port Dickson of Malaysia have not been studied. The purpose of the study was to compare the inherent variations in growth parame...
