The Ethiopian plateau hosts thousands of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) farmer varieties (FV) with high adaptability and breeding potential. To harness their unique allelic diversity, we produced a large nested association mapping (NAM) population intercrossing fifty Ethiopian FVs w...

A large nested association mapping population for breeding and quantitative trait locus mapping in Ethiopian durum wheat
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a devastating fungal disease affecting durum and bread wheat cultivation worldwide. The identification, development, and employment of resistant wheat genetic material is the key to overcoming costs and limitations of fungicide treatments. The search for resistanc...

Genome-wide association study of Septoria tritici Blotch resistance in Ethiopian durum wheat landraces
Smallholder agriculture involves millions of farmers worldwide. A methodical utilization of their traditional knowledge in modern breeding efforts may help the production of locally adapted varieties better addressing their needs.
In this study, a combination of participatory approaches, genomi...

Genome wide association study to identify the genetic base of smallholder farmer preferences of Durum wheat traits
The valorization of genetic diversities of major crops like wheat may help substantially to feed the world Population. Durum heat genotypes consisting of 265 farmers’ varieties (FVs), which have been cultivated for many centuries in Ethiopia, as well as 24 improved varieties (IMVs) have been rece...
