I am Misteru Tesfaye Woldeyohannes, an oilseeds breeder focusing on oilseed Brassica. Currently, I am PhD student in plant biotechnology sponsored by SIDA bilateral project between Swedish University of Agricultural Science and Addis Ababa University. Before I joined my PhD study, I worked at Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) and then joined Addis Ababa University and accomplished my M.Sc. in the field of Applied Genetics in 2008. I have 16 years of research experience in oilseeds improvement at EIAR. I have been serving as an oilseeds research program coordinator for seven years and a Secretary of Crops Society of Ethiopia for three years. I have been awarded the best performing researcher by Holetta Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia for my contribution in the release of six oilseeds cultivars including B. carinata. Improvement of oilseed brassica with the application of molecular markers and modern tools of biotechnology and CRISPR/Cas9 are my major research interests.
