Allometric models to estimate foliage biomass of Tamarindus indica in Burkina Faso
Loyapin Bondé, Moussa Ganamé, Oumarou Ouédraogo, Blandine MI Nacoulma, Adjima Thiombiano, Joseph I BoussimTamarindus indica L. is a multi-purpose tropical species. In West Africa the local people use its leaves daily as a source of food, medicine and income. To prevent the over-exploitation of this species for its use for non-timber forest products, the estimation of foliage production needs to be...

Identification and validation of SSR markers linked to Striga gesneroides (willd.) vatke gene race 2 in cowpea |Vigna unguiculata (l.) Walp] in Mali
Diallo S., Sawadogo N., Ouedraogo M. H., Coulibaly B.S., Batieno Joseph B.T.J., Sawadogo M.Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) Is one of the most important grain legumes grown in Mali. But its production is strongly limited by the SG2 strain of Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke which constitutes one of the major biotic constraints. The F2 populations resulting from the crossing...

Isolation and characterization of enteropathogenic and enterotoxinogenic Escherichia coli from dairy products consumed in Burkina Faso
Touwendsida Serge Bagré, Bissoume Sambe-Ba, Hadiza Bawa Ibrahim, Gertrude Bsadjo Tchamba, René Dembélé, Abdoul Aziz Wane, Evariste Bako, Alfred S. Traoré, Nicolas Barro and Amy Gassama-SowFood-borne diseases represent a public major health problem, and drink-water, juice, meat, and milk products are usually involved. This study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of diarrheagenic E. coli isolated from dairy products consumed in Burkina Faso. Five hundred and twenty-two...

Equations des algèbres Lie triple qui sont des algèbres train.
Joseph Bayara, Amidou Konkobo, Moussa OuattaraIn this paper, we consider equations of Lie triple algebras that are train algebras. We obtain two different types of equations depending on assuming the existence of an idempotent or a pseudo-idempotent.
In general Lie triple algebras are not power-associative. However we show that their...

Defective Gpsm2/Gai3 signalling disrupts stereocilia development and growth cone actin dynamics in Chudley-McCullough syndrome
Mauriac SA , Hien YE , Bird JE , Carvalho SD , Peyroutou R , Lee SC , Moreau MM , Blanc JM , Geyser A , Medina C , Thoumine O , Beer-Hammer S , Friedman TB , Rüttiger L , Forge A , Nürnberg B , Sans N , Montcouquiol MMutations in GPSM2 cause Chudley-McCullough syndrome (CMCS), an autosomal recessive neurological disorder characterized by early-onset sensorineural deafness and brain anomalies. Here, we show that mutation of the mouse orthologue of GPSM2 affects actin-rich stereocilia elongation in auditory...

Assessment of genetic diversity in Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt) landraces in Burkina Faso using microsatellite markers (SSR)
Adjima Ouoba, Serge Félicien Zida, Mahama Ouédraogo, Hervé Nandkangre, Hamed Mahamadi Ouédraogo, Romaric Kiswendsida Nanéma, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo, Elisabeth P Zida, Konaté N’golo Moussa, Congo Abdou Kader, Romain W Soalla, Mahamadou SawadogoBambara groundnut is an important source of protein to the rural majority in sub-Saharan Africa. However, small
farmers grow locally adapted landraces which are generally low yielding. Adequate knowledge of variability within Bambara groundnut germplasm collections is crucial for crop...

Phytochemistry and Agro-Industrial Potential of Native Oilseeds fromWest Africa: African Grape (Lannea microcarpa), Marula (Sclerocarya birrea), and Butter Tree (Pentadesma butyracea)
HILOU Adama, Adjima Bougma and Mamoudou H. DICKOEthnobotanical investigations on local oilseed species in Burkina Faso revealed that oils
from tree oilseeds are frequently used for food, cosmetics and traditional medicine by local people.
To test the bio-preservative capacity, the effect of the oilseed extracts on the stabilization of Shea...

Evidence that agricultural use of pesticides selects pyrethroid resistance within Anopheles gambiae sl populations from cotton growing areas in Burkina Faso, West...
Many studies have shown the role of agriculture in the selection and spread of resistance of Anopheles gambiae sl to insecticides. However, no study has directly demonstrated the presence of insecticides in breeding sources as a source of selection for this resistance. It is in this context that...
