A Proteomic Approach to Investigate the Drought Response in the Orphan Crop Eragrostis tef
The orphan crop, Eragrostis tef, was subjected to controlled drought conditions to observe the physiological parameters and proteins changing in response to dehydration stress. Physiological measurements involving electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll fluorescence and ultra-structural analysis showed tef plants tolerated water loss to 50% relative water content (RWC) before adverse effects in leaf t...
متن کاملGenetic diversity in tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter]
The DNA polymorphism among 92 selected tef genotypes belonging to eight origin groups was assessed using eight inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers. The objectives were to examine the possibility of using ISSR markers for unravelling genetic diversity in tef, and to assess the extent and pattern of genetic diversity in the test germplasm with respect to origin groups. The eight primers w...
متن کاملGenetic and phenotypic diversity in selected genotypes of tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter
Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] is an important staple food crop, especially in Ethiopia where it is annually grown on 2.8 million hectares of land. It is important for food security in the region, in spite of having a low yield, mainly due to lodging. In this study, 15 representative landraces as well as three improved varieties have been selected for in-depth characterization of many par...
متن کاملGenetic Variability, Heritability and Trait Relationships in Recombinant Inbred Lines of Tef [Eragrostis Tef (Zucc.) Trotter]
Characterization of genetic variability in a population is pertinent as genetic diversity within population and within species determines the extent of improvement achieved through crop improvement 8 methods. One hundred ninety six F recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of tef, developed by single-seed descent method from a cross between two tef varieties DZ-01-196 and DZ-01-2356, were evaluated to ...
متن کاملThe origins and progress of genomics research on Tef (Eragrostis tef).
Tef, Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter, is the most important cereal in Ethiopia. Tef is cultivated by more than five million small-scale farmers annually and constitutes the staple food for more than half of the population of 80 million. The crop is preferred by both farmers and consumers due to its beneficial traits associated with its agronomy and utilization. The genetic and phenotypic diversi...
