Assessment of genetic diversity in Ethiopian field pea (Pisum sativum L.) accessions with newly developed EST-SSR markers.
TL;DR: High levels of genetic variation were detected in field pea accessions from Ethiopia using these newly developed EST-SSR primer-pairs, implying the potential of the Ethiopian fieldpea gene pool for improvement of field peas in various desirable traits.
Genetic structure and relationships within and between cultivated and wild korarima [Aframomum corrorima (Braun) P.C.M. Jansen] in Ethiopia as revealed by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers.
TL;DR: From the five administrative zones considered in this study, the Bench-Magi and Sheka zone showed populations with high genetic diversity, and these populations could be used as a potential starting point for in-situ and ex-Situ germplasm conservation and korarima improvement through breeding programs after proper agronomic evaluation.
Enhancing Neoplasm Expression in Field Pea (Pisum sativum) via Intercropping and Its Significance to Pea Weevil (Bruchus pisorum) Management.
TL;DR: Greenhouse artificial infestation experiments showed that pea weevil damage in Np genotypes is lower in comparison to wild type genotypes, and promoting Np formation under field conditions via intercropping can serve as part of an integrated pea Weevil management strategy especially for small scale farming systems.
Patterns of domestication in the Ethiopian oil-seed crop noug (Guizotia abyssinica)

TL;DR: Evidence of local adaptation of noug cultivars to different precipitation regimes is revealed, as well as high levels of phenotypic plasticity, which may permit reasonable yields under diverse environmental conditions.
Screening the primary gene pool of field pea ( Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum ) in Ethiopia for resistance against pea weevil ( Bruchus pisorum L.)

TL;DR: Significant level of variation in PSD were observed among accessions/genotypes, however, a few of them showed relatively consistent results across sites and years and may lead to the development of field pea varieties with enhanced resistance against pea weevil and consequently contribute to sustainable fieldpea production in Ethiopia and beyond.
