Genetic variability, parameter estimates, and associations among selected morpho-agronomic traits of Ethiopian tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] accessions.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In Ethiopia, tef occupies the fifth position in terms of importance among cereal crops, preceded by wheat, sorghum, barley, and maize. Over 89 million Ethiopians rely on tef, the country’s second most widely grown crop after maize, and a key staple food. METHODS: This study aimed to investigate the genetic variability and the relationships among the major traits within 304 tef genotypes during the...
