Selection of waterlogging tolerant sesame genotypes (Sesamum indicum L.) from a dataset using the MGIDI index.

ABSTRACT: The dataset explores the impact of waterlogging stress on sesame plants during the pre-flowering stage, recognizing its global impact on crop yield and the identification of tolerant genotypes using the MGIDI index. Carried out in Bangladesh, the research assesses the survival status, grain yield, and stress tolerance indices of 40 sesame genotypes, revealing that twelve of them demonstrated resilience under 72 h of waterlogging stress at the pre-flowering stage. There were variations in genotypic grain yield, and G15 exhibited the highest yields, recording 5.22 g/plant under normal conditions and 4.10 g/plant under waterlogging stress. The MGIDI index, evaluating waterlogging tolerance, identified G4 as the most favorable genotype, followed by G5 and G12. Factor analysis within the MGIDI
