Abstract

Tef or teff [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] is a cereal crop indigenous to the Horn of Africa, where it is a staple food for a large population. The popularity of tef arises from its resilience to environmental stresses and its nutritional value. For many years, tef has been considered an orphan crop, but recent research initiatives from across the globe are helping to unravel its undisclosed potential. Advanced omics tools and techniques have been directed toward the exploration of tef’s diversity with the aim of increasing its productivity. In this review, we report on the most recent advances in tef omics that brought the crop into the spotlight of international research.

奥米克斯技术在改良孤儿作物柚子中的作用

特夫或特夫[Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter]是非洲之角土生土长的谷类作物，是当地大量人口的主食。tef之所以受欢迎，是因为它对环境压力的适应能力和营养价值。多年来，柚木一直被认为是一种 "孤儿作物"，但最近全球各地开展的研究活动正在帮助揭示其尚未披露的潜力。先进的组学工具和技术已被用于探索柚木的多样性，以提高其产量。在这篇综述中，我们报告了使茶叶成为国际研究焦点的茶叶组学的最新进展。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology. Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
