TL;DR: The draft genome was used to identify novel SSR markers, investigate target genes for abiotic stress resistance studies, and understand the evolution of the prolamin family of proteins that are responsible for the immune response to gluten.

TL;DR: This review shows some recent initiatives investigating the diversity of tef using genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics and discusses the prospect of these efforts in providing molecular resources that can aid modern tef breeding.

TL;DR: Genes affecting carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth, response to reactive oxygen species, transport, signaling, and stress responses were found to change under excess moisture stress and show the presence of substantial anatomical and physiological differences among tef genotypes when waterlogged during the early growth stage.

TL;DR: Tef Improvement Project is described, which employs both conventional- and molecular-breeding techniques to improve tef—an orphan crop important to the food security in the Horn of Africa, a region of the world with recurring devastating famines and a new variety, Tesfa, developed in this pipeline and possessing a novel and desirable combination of traits.
Panicle Angle is an Important Factor in Tef Lodging Tolerance.

TL;DR: A model of stem bending was constructed and found that panicle angle was an important determinant of the amount of lodging in tef, and overall, the landraces of tef lodged less than improved varieties.
