Seamum Mulayanum
A survey of seamum mulayanum in 15 localities near Kolhapur, Maharashtra, revealed complete resistance to phyllody and wilt. Further screening under artificial conditions revealed resistance to phyllody and powdery mildew, but moderate susceptibility to wilt, while the cultivated species S. indicum was completely susceptible to powdery mildew. S. prostratum was resistant to all three diseases.
Morphologically, S.mulayanum is very similar to S. indicum, except for flower, seed, and capsule dehiscence characteristics. Its seeds contain 28.3% oil.
