Summary : Sesame is an economical oil crop. The experimental material consisted of 18 lines M4 generation and 39 lines Ms generation of sesame mutant lines. There were two experiments carried out to obtain information on genetic variability and genotypic correlation of some agronomical characteristics of M4 and Ms generations of sesame mutant lines after selection based on plant height and number of capsules per plant. The first experiment was performed to study and selected M4 generation begins at the vegetative stage, based on. plant height and number of capsules per plant. The second experiment was done to cultivated Ms generation which is the result of individual selection in M4 generation derived from every sesame mutant lines. One of breeding steps is a selection based on the consideration of the genetic variability and genotypic correlation of some agronomical characteristics. The genetic variability can influence the success of a selection process in the breeding program. Qualitative traits are expressed into different categories, it kinds of characteristics can be very useful for the identification of plants. M4 and Ms generations of sesame characterization and evaluation studies indicate wide diversity in qualitative traits (root system, leaf arrangement, basal leaf margin, lobe incision of basal leaf, bicarpellate capsule shape, seed characteristics, seed coat color). In general, the qualitative characteristic of M4 generation will be followed by a descent in Ms generation of sesame mutant lines. Selection based on plant height and number of capsules per plant can significantly decrease the genetic variability of seed yield and yield components in M4 and Ms generations of sesame mutant lines. The genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficients significantly increase in plant height, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, number of nodes/plant, number of capsules/plant, and 1000-seed weight after selection.
