ABSTRACT

 

Article No. : 120119214

Type : Research

 

 

To analyse the effect of seed coat colour as well as organic pig fertiliser on the expression of eighteen measured variables in Sesame, parametric and non-parametric methods were applied. Two morphotypes, differing in coat colour of their seeds, were sowed in the study garden of Faculty of Sciences and Techniques from Marien Ngouabi University. Student’s parametric two-sample t or Z tests as well as non-parametric General Linear Model of Anova were applied. Seedlings were planted according to randomised complete block design. Results showed that on eighteen measured variables, sole two, particularly, the width of leaf blade from median stem and number of floral buds of the second last branch succeeded in discriminating the two morphotypes. This suggested that these two morphotypes could be the traits or phenotypes of a sole and same character. And thus, these two colour types might be the expression of two alleles from one gene. Regarding, organic pig fertiliser, low and high doses qualitatively improved the growth of reproductive and vegetative organs. Nevertheless, the dose of 15 Kg acted on the three organ types from stem, leaf as well as those from flowering and fructification. This dose might be recommended to farmers awaiting the confirmation trial.
