Current climate change projection models show that both temperature and precipitation are expected to increase in the Horn of Africa, and that climate uncertainty and frequency of extreme events will most likely increase the vulnerability of the rural poor in the region, Ethiopia included. Geneti...

Using diversity of Ethiopian durum wheat to challenge climate change: a three pronged approach
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
Climate change is severely affecting production systems all over Africa. Ethiopia will face an increase in temperature and changes in rainfall patterns. One solution for long term management
of climate related risks is to introduce new traits into production systems. We present an approach to qui...
