Research summary
AI-generated

Habte Nida works on the genetics and breeding of sorghum and finger millet, especially crops grown in Ethiopia. Much of the work uses genome-wide association studies (a method for linking DNA markers to traits) to identify genes related to grain quality, yield, drought tolerance, and resistance to the parasitic weed Striga. The research also includes field-based work on multi-environment trials and farmer seed-multiplication programs aimed at improving crop resilience for smallholder farmers.
