Abstract

Tef is a highly nutritious gluten-free Ethiopian cereal with food-feed potential. However, its productivity is affected by lodging, weed infestation, terminal drought, small seed size, and shattering. Following the recent availability of tef genome sequences, we highlight the need to harness the benefits that this underutilised crop offers to improve food security.

摘要

画眉草是一种营养丰富的无麸质埃塞俄比亚谷物，具有粮食和饲料潜力。然而，其产量受到倒伏、杂草侵袭、终期干旱、种子颗粒小和易脱粒等因素的影响。随着近期画眉草基因组序列的可得，我们强调有必要利用这种未充分利用的作物所带来的益处来改善粮食安全。
