Non-dehiscent sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) (IND) designated Sesaco 35 (S35) is herein disclosed. Its degree of shatter resistance, or seed retention, makes S35 suitable for mechanized harvesting and for selection for sesame crop growth in most geographical locations, particularly where whiteflies are a high risk factor. In addition, S35 sesame produces a larger, heavier seed than previously described varieties.
