Multitrait Selection for Average Performance of Rice Varieties Under Drip Irrigation Using MGIDI and FAI-BLUP Techniques
Dominique Nikiéma, Tégawendé Odette Bonkoungou, Koffi Brice Aymar Kouassi, Kouka Fidèle Tiendrébéogo, Yapi lssoufou Sinaré, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Rice is among the most important worldwide staple food grains. However, limited water availability for rice production has resulted in substantial yield reductions. To mitigate this constraint, the adoption of pressurized irrigation systems appears essential for rice production in Burkina Faso. It is therefore crucial to identify genotypes sui(...)

Dengue fever is a major re-emerging infectious disease, posing risks in low- and middle-income countries, including Burkina Faso. Although antibodies against Aedes aegypti salivary gland extract (SGE) are recognized as reliable biomarkers of exposure to Aedes bites, data from Burkina Faso remain limited. The study compared IgG- specific respon(...)

Effect of low-temperature treatment on the physicochemical, interfacial, and foaming properties of wheat gliadin nanoparticles
Muhammad Asif Ismail, Tianxu Liu, Ying Jiang, Abel Wend-Soo Zongo, Mohamed Eid, Jing Li, Bin Li
Wheat gliadin nanoparticles are promising food-grade foam stabilizers; however, their response to low temperatures remains inadequately characterized. This study evaluated the effects of low-temperature treatment (4, 0, −20, −40, and −80 °C, 15 h) on the microstructure, interfacial behavior, and foaming properties of gliadin nanoparticles. Zet(...)

Effect of explant type and culture medium on in vitro establishment and growth of Solenostemon rotundifolius
Rodrigue Arnaud Zongo , Aboubacar Sory , Monique Soro, Koussao Some, Rasmata Nana
In Burkina Faso, Solenostemon rotundifolius [(Poir.) J.K. Morton] is an underutilized tuber crop of considerable economic and medicinal importance. However, the conservation of stored planting material is constrained by microbial contamination, which can adversely affect subsequent plant development in the field. This study aimed to identify t(...)

Wouléyon Tiéné, Samson Guenné, Hemayoro Sama, Kabakdé Kaboré, Mamounata Diao, Ghislain Téwendé Kobendé, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrebéogo and Mamoudou Hama Dicko
Beekeeping is a rapidly expanding income-generating activity in several countries. Since 2003, good honey-harvesting practices, implemented with support from beekeeping centers, have yielded honey of high physicochemical quality. However, honey preservation remains a challenge to maintain its bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate t(...)

Encapsulation of Macrobrachium rosenbergii oil in SPIMP-stabilised HIPE gels: Stability characteristics, oxidative stability, and astaxanthin bioaccessibility
Kaili Gao, Mengmeng Li, Ningxiang Yu, Abel Wend-Soo Zongo, Xiaohua Nie, Yuanchao Lu, Guijie Hao
Macrobrachium rosenbergii oil (MRO), a marine functional lipid, is rich in phospholipid-esterified eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid and astaxanthin. However, its utilisation is limited by poor oxidative stability, aqueous dispersibility, and bioavailability. In this study, a thermally induced microgelation strategy was developed to f(...)
