Variance components in recombinant inbred lines of Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter L.]: Estimation and their implications in selection

Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter L.] is an indigenous and important cereal crop in Ethiopia. Its improvement is dependent on the presence and magnitude of genetic variation among traits in a given environment. Forty-nine tef genotypes (RILs and checks) were evaluated in 2019 to assess the nature...
