“…In this study, plant species nomenclature follows flora of Ethiopia and Eritrea (Edwards et al, 1995;Hedberg et al, 2004Hedberg et al, , 2006) and a glossary of Ethiopian plant names (Kelecha, 1980). In order to show diversity across wealth category, the owner of the homegardens were classified according to local wealth category criteria.…”

Homegarden agroforestry is believed to be more diverse due to the combination of crops, trees and livestock. The aim of this study was to assess plant species composition and diversity of homegarden agroforestry in Jabithenan district, North-western Ethiopia. Two sites purposively and two villages randomly from each site were selected. Plant species diversity inventories were carried out for 48 homegardens. All woody species and herbaceous species were counted and recorded in 10 x 10 m and 2 x 2 m plots, respectively. A total of 69 plant species (44 woody and 25 herbaceous) belonging to 40 families were recorded in the study homegarden. About 6-8 different species of plants per plot were recorded. Plant species such as Musa paradisiaca and Brassica integrifolia among herbs and Coffea arabica and Cordia africana among woody were the most frequently recorded species in the study Kebele. Of all woody species, C. arabica and C. africana showed the highest importance value index. Generally, according to the calculated diversity indices, the studied homegarden was found to be diverse Key word: Composition, diversity, importance value index.

“…Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an annual spice herb that belongs to the family of Umbelliferae/Apiaceae (Hedburg and Hedburg, 2003). It is used as a spice in culinary (Diederichsen, 1996), medicine (Kubo et al, 2004;Delaquis et al, 2002) and; in perfumery, food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals industries (Jansen, 1981).…”

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an annual spice herb that belongs to the family of Umbelliferae/Apiaceae. Although Ethiopia is known as a primary diversity for coriander, the knowledge on nature and extent of variation of the indigenous germplasm is limited. Hence, to address the nature and extent of variability on agronomic and chemical traits, test trial was conducted at Kokate and Wondo Genet, Southern Ethiopia, using 49 accessions arranged in randomised complete block design in two replications during the main season of 2007/08. Data for 15 agronomic and quality traits were measured and statistically tested. In the combined analysis of variance over locations, accessions varied significantly in all the traits except for basal leaf number, plant height and fatty oil contents. The interaction between accessions and environment was significant for nine of the 15 traits. A range of seed yield (910-3099 kg ha -1 ), essential oil (0.25-0.85%) and fatty oil (11.11-16.53%) content was obtained. Overall, highest value of genetic coefficient of variation, broad sense heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean was obtained for longest basal leaf length, days to start 50% flowering, umbels number/plant, umbellets number/umbel, seed number/umbellets, seed number/plant, seed yield/ha and essential oil content.

“…The existence of sufficient variability for agronomic and chemical traits for Ethiopian coriander accessions was also reported by Beemnet and Getinet (2010). Coriander is an annual spice and aromatic herb that belongs to the family umbelliferae/Apiaceae (Hedburg and Hedburg, 2003). It is used in culinary (Diederichsen, 1996), medicine (Kubo et al, 2004;Delaquis et al, 2002) and; its green foliage rich in vitamins and other minerals is used in vegetables and salads.…”

The genetic divergence among 49 Ethiopian coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) accessions was assessed using employing Mahalanobi's distance (D2) analysis based on 15 characters. The accessions were grouped in to eight clusters. Cluster II and III were the largest each with 12 accessions, followed by clusters I and V each consisting of seven accessions. The highest inter-cluster distance (480.5) was observed between clusters I and VIII, followed by clusters V and VIII (462.2), and then clusters II and VIII (336.1). Hence, crossing between accessions included in these clusters may give high heterotic response, and thereby better sergeants. Maximum contribution toward total genetic divergence was possessed by thousand seed weight (15.67%), followed by basal leaf number (13.48%), plant height (10.29%), seeds umbellet-1 (9.81%) and umbel number plant-1 (7.84%). Based on means of all characters, accessions in clusters III, VII and VIII could be regarded as useful sources of genes for yield and its components, and the accessions from these clusters, therefore, could be used in improvement programmes to develop desirable types in coriander.
