Prof. Zvi Peleg: "The constant increase in demand and the suitability of the sesame for growing under high temperatures associated with climate change, led to an attempt to return it to agriculture in Israel. Finding the connection between the timing of flowering and the components of the crop, could help in the future to adapt this crop to deal with climate change, and together with other developments in our laboratory , to transform the cultivation of sesame from a traditional-local cultivation to a modern and global cultivation''.
