Selection indices provide useful information to breeders who usually base selection on meansand ranks. Knowledge on selection criteria for improving tef grain yield is very limited. Accordingly, theobjective of this study was to develop selection criteria for improving tef grain yield through ind...

Comparison of AFLP, ESTSSR, ISSR and SSR markers for polymorphism among recombinant inbred lines of tef (Eragrostis tef)
Tef, Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter, is the main Ethiopian cereal grown on 2.5 million ha annually, and serving as a staple food grain for more than 50 million people. The major constraints in tef husbandry are low productivity (average about 1 t ha21) and lodging. Scientific research on tef bega...

Quncho: the first popular tef variety in Ethiopia
Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] is an important food staple cereal crop in Ethiopia. Despite its importance in the Ethiopian agriculture, there are constraints that need to be addressed through scientific research. The major constraints are low yield of landrace cultivars under widespread cu...
