In order to study inheritance of alternaria blight resistance in sesame, straight and reciprocal crosses were made between RT-273 (resistant) and Gulbarga local black (susceptible) during Kharif-2007. Screening of F2 and F3 progenies against Alternaria blight, and segregation analysis showed that resistance is governed by single dominant gene. Further screening of F4 families under field condition during Kharif-2010 confirmed the single dominant gene governing the Alternaria blight resistance in cultivated sesame.
