I am a PhD Student at SLU. I am working on Ethiopian Durum Wheat Land-races to see genetic diversity, grain protein composition and physicochemical starch traits. Ethiopian durum wheat contains unique genes, but only few of the durum wheat collection is used in breeding programs. Keeping this in mind, I will analyse genetic diversity in Ethiopian durum wheat land-races and cultivars, then characterize and evaluate quality traits that could be used to improve durum wheat.
