Among the abiotic stresses, water stress is
considered to be one of the major limitations on plant growth, yield, quality
and nutritional status for sustainable agriculture worldwide. Water is an indispensable planetary natural resource essential to all
life and central to bio economy, agriculture and food security. Yet 80% of the
global society is exposed to water insecurity. Addressing water deficit and
associated risks are prominent in the post-2015 proposed Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) by United Nations.
We
report the impacts of water deficit on sesame growth, oil yield, fatty acid
composition and mineral content of Sesamum
indicum L. (Osmanlı cv. versus Muganlı-57 cv.) aerial/edible parts in
Euphrates valley of the Middle-East. Sesame is a major foodstuff particularly
in developing countries. This is of the studies on response of sesame to water
deficit in two different cultivars of sesame in Euphrates Valley where
water-based conflicts and disasters are historically common. According to the
study results, strategic outlook on food security, disasters and sustainability
were given
