Nutritional Characterization of Traditional Foods Based on Millet, Sorghum and Cowpea from the North-Central Region of Burkina Faso
Rasmata Dabo, Fatoumata Hama-Ba, Serge Samandoulgou, Aly Savadogo
The food and nutrition situation in Burkina Faso, like most developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, is marked by growing food vulnerability. The majority of local dishes are being abandoned in favor of a minority of imported cereal dishes and other ultra-processed foods. This minority of cereal foods is blamed for stunted growth in childre(...)

Genetic variability induced by gamma radiation on second generation of mutants M2 of Bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt] in Burkina Faso
Brahime Tingueri, Mahamadi Hamed Ouedraogo, Wendmanegda Hermann Tonde, Tégawendé Odette Bonkoungou, Celestin Thiombiano, Adjima Ouoba, Daouda Ouedraogo, Mahamadou Sawadogo
Bambara groundnut is a highly nutritious food legume. However, the low genetic variability in Bambara,groundnut constitutes a serious barrier for its improvement. The mutagenesis is one of the techniques able to create genetic variability of crops species for breeding. This study aims at evaluating the genetic variability induced by gamma irra(...)

Morphology and biology of Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) immature instar for a biological control perspective
Salifou Kabre, · Madjelia Cangré Ebou Dao, · Fousseni Traore, · Antoine Waongo and · Olivier Gnankine
Moringa oleifera (Capparales: Moringaceae) is a plant grown for its roots, stems and leaves. However, the leaves are
attacked by insect pests including larvae of Noorda blitealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). These larvae cause a significant
reduction in leaf yield and loss of income for growers. This study was conducted to determine some morpho(...)

DAO Zézouma Anselme, ROMBA Rahim, JALOUX Bruno, OUEDRAOGO Amadé, GNANKINE Olivier
Climate change and global warming in the Sahelian region cause dramatic drought and advancing of the desert. This phenomenon could affect the plant survival and community composition, but even for surviving plants, it could affect their phenology and the insect community associated with them. In a space-for-time approach, we studied the case o(...)
