The sesame breeding works in the province were focused on the collection and the screening of the native germplasms from 1950 to 1969 and the mean values of the variety characteristics were the lowest. In 1970s,the pedigree breeding was mainly conducted,which resulted in the release of varieties of various types with better traits. During 1980s,the hybridization breeding was carried out dominantly with the varieties possessing fine traits. Since 1990,there were no better varieties released.
