Study On Variation In Recombinant Inbred Lines Of Eragrostis Tef X E. Pilosa For Drought-resistance Related Traits And Meiotic Behavior In Their F1-hybrid

Tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) is major cereal crop cultivated in Ethiopia. It occupiesrntwo million hectares of land each year. However, its productivity is constrained by drought. Torncurb the situation, assessment of drought-resistance related traits variability among recombinantrninbred lines (RILs) is essential. Morpho-physiological drought related (pot) and meiotic behaviorrn(laboratory) studies were conducted at Debre Zeit and Addis Ababa in 2007/08. For potrnexperiment, twenty-five RILs of a cross between Eragrostis tef and E. pilosa, their parental linesrnand standard check cultivar were laid dawn in RCB design with three replications underrnmoisture stressed and non-stressed conditions to examine differences in some drought relatedrntraits. There was significant (p
