Optimizing ethyl methanesulphonate for mutagenesis of selected tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] genotypes

Optimizing ethyl methanesulphonate for mutagenesis of selected tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] genotypes

Abstract The study aimed to identify optimal ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) dose and soaking duration to induce genetic variation in selected founder tef (Eragrostis tef [Zucc.] Trotter) cultivars. Study conducted using a 3 × 5 × 4 factorial experiment with seeds from three founder cultivars (Emerson...
