Research summary

Amare Seyoum works on crop genetics and breeding, with a strong focus on sorghum improvement in Ethiopia, including drought tolerance, root traits, and genome-wide studies linking genetic markers to important agricultural traits like yield and stress resistance. Some earlier work also touched on maize breeding, finger millet nutrition, and community health/nutrition topics in rural Ethiopia. The overall goal of this research is to help develop crop varieties that perform well in dry, resource-limited farming environments.
