Diallel analysis of genetic determinism for agro morphological traits, β-carotene, and dry matter content in 216 sweet potato genotypes from crosses of five parental varieties in Burkina Faso
GAMSORE Nattan, SOME Koussao, KOMBELEME Nongueba Abraham and BATIONO Pauline
This study aimed to investigate the mode of inheritance of key traits in sweet potato, specifically root tuber yield (RTY), β-carotene content (β-CAR), and dry matter content (DMC). A total of 216 genotypes derived from crosses among five parental lines were evaluated using a diallel mating design without selfing. Field trials were conducte(...)

Life history traits of Necrobia rufipes (De Geer, 1775) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) on pig and rabbit substrates in the Northern Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso
David Zongo, Samuel Fogné Drabo, Théodore Yinbyada Ouedraogo, Rahim Romba, · Prisca Pare , Antoine Waongo, Fousséni Traore and Olivier Gnankine
Forensic entomology focused on sarcosaprophagous insects and arthropods may provide a sound tool for assessment of
Post Mortem Interval (PMI) and could provide scientific evidence for date of deaths. However, few data on necrophagous
insect are available in many western African countries particulary in Burkina Faso. The current study focused(...)

Contexte de l’étude
Les plantes médicinales vendues en milieu urbain sont généralement frelatées. Les soupçons
d'inefficacité et de toxicité de certains consommateurs remettent en question l'intérêt de ces
plantes médicinales très prisées. À la lumière d'une enquête ethnobotanique sur la
consommation des plantes médicinales, tr(...)
