“…The qualitative information also indicted that khat chewing habit is one of the cause for risky behaviors that could fuel the spread of HIV. This finding is in line with Guesh (2012) [41] and Dawit (2005) [42] who claimed khat chewing induces excessive sexual arousal, impotence and strained relations between spouses and most likely to precipitate family fragmentation and/or multiple sexual practices.…”

Background: Khat chewing practice has increased over the years and chronic khat use is associated with adverse socio-economic effects. Thus, this study was undertaken among khat chewers in case of Anna Sorra Woreda, Guji Zone, Oromia regional state, southeastern part of Ethiopia to investigate socio-economic effects of khat chewing. Methods: Cross-sectional research design and descriptive data analysis was used. Diversion of software was used to analyze my data. Simple random sampling method was used to select the respondents. Descriptive statistics were employed for summarization and presentation of data. Results: Khat chewing was most commonly practiced among male gender (66.3%), productive age group (82.5%), Orthodox Christians (56.3%), married (71.3%), uneducated (42.5%) and low-earned (62.5%) people. Majority of them initiated by peer pressure (52.5%) for academic good performance (23.75%) and continued the practice for religious purpose (12.5%) and family habit (6.25%) and other (5%). Just from the respondents (38.8%) chewed khat daily. Most khat chewers drank alcohol (50%) after chewing khat and coffee (20%), smoked cigarette (16.25%), soft drinks (8.75%) and others substance (5%) while practicing khat chewing. Majority of the respondents reported perceived economic effects. Half of khat chewers believed that they would plan to stop the practice in the future. Conclusions: The community, especially youth, need to be aware of negative socio-economic consequences of khat chewing through designing educational strategies to bring behavioral change.

“…No complete resistance is yet available for teff rust (Uromyces eragrostidis Tracy), another disease with broad diffusion in Ethiopia (Gemechu 2018;Badebo 2013). Teff rust typically occurs after heading stage, yet causes relatively little grain yield losses as compared to other constraints (Dawit and Andnew 2005). Resistance to aphids (Rhopalosiphum padi) is also available (Zafar et al 2020), yet further evaluations are required to determine the status of genetic resistance alleles in teff germplasm collections.…”

Crop germplasm collections are a key asset to support the resilience and productivity of cropping systems worldwide. In their diversity lays an oftentimes untapped reservoir of alleles that may enable breeding strategies targeting local adaptation, resulting in enhanced performance and higher varietal uptake. In the past five decades, the national genebank of Ethiopia actively collected and conserved thousands of teff (Eragrostis tef) accessions, a staple crop throughout the Horn of Africa at the basis of countless cultural uses and with high market relevance. This review article emphasizes the breeding significance of teff genetic resources, highlighting current challenges in teff farming and improvement that could be addressed further valorising germplasm collections. We collect data generated on the largest teff ex situ collections in the world to discuss opportunities to improve teff tolerance to stress and lodging, as well as to increase its productivity across its cropping area. In doing so, we highlight and critically revise current and past literature tapping in teff diversity to support teff improvement. This review starts providing a summary of teff characteristics, detailing the status and challenges of teff cultivation and breeding. It then follows describing the diversity existing in teff diversity collections and its relevance for teff improvement. The review concludes describing the molecular studies undertook on teff in the past two decades, highlighting the perspectives of molecular breeding for teff. The body of knowledge available on teff shows that there is large potential for improvement of this crop to target smallholder farming systems as well as international markets, and that improvement may start from the large diversity available in teff collections.
