DNA markers reveal genetic structure and localized diversity of Ethiopian sorghum landraces
North Eastern Ethiopia is a major sorghum-growing region. A total of 415 sorghum landraces were
sampled to represent the range of agro-ecologies (three altitude ranges) as well as spatial
heterogeneity, that is, 4 zones: ...
Molecular evaluation of Ethiopian sweet sorghum germplasm and their contribution to regional breeding programs
Sweet sorghum is an excellent feedstock for ethanol production and is also used for food and livestock feed. Germplasm collection
and characterization in sweet sorghum is a crucial step towards breeding and development of ...
Geographic patterns of phenotypic diversity in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) landraces from North Eastern Ethiopia
Understanding the pattern of genetic variability is an important component of germplasm collection and
conservation as well as the crop’s improvement process including the selection of parents for making
new genetic ...
Multi-Environment Trial Analysis of Food Barley in Ethiopia using AMMI and GGE Biplot methods
Food barley released varieties were tested in 2012 for performance across major environments in Ethiopia consisting of 12 varieties Diribe, Tilla, Abbay, Biftu, Defo, Dinsho, Mulu, Setegn, Misiratch, Basso, Mezezo and local ...
Assessment of genetic diversity of sorghum [sorghum bicolor (l.) Moench] germplasm in East and Central Africa
The study of genetic diversity in crops has a strong impact on plant breeding and maintenance of genetic resources. Comprehensive knowledge of the genetic biodiversity of cultivated and wild sorghum germplasm is an important ...
