Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Elliot Haruna Alhassan, Adama Ouéda, Limam Bawa, Gbandi Djanéyé-Boundjou
Macroinvertebrate metrics are helpful tools for the assessment of water quality and overall aquatic ecosystem health. However, their degree of sensitivity and the most reliable metrics for the bioassessment program development are very poorly studied in Togo. This study aimed to test the sensitivity of metrics calculated at the family and genu(...)

Victor Bancé, Adama Ouéda, Idrissa Kaboré, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Komandan Mano, Peter D.M. Weesie, Gustave B. Kabré
In this work, we assessed micro-habitat's influence on the distribution of macroinvertebrates in lake Ziga in Burkina Faso from July to December 2016. The water quality variables were measured in situ and the macroinvertebrates were collected with a hand net. The organisms were identified to the lower taxonomic resolution as possible. The resu(...)

Development and Evaluation of a Disposable Solid‑State Culture Packed‑Bed Bioreactor for the Production of Conidia from Trichoderma asperellum Grown Under Water Stress
MAIGA Ynoussa, CARBOUE Quentin, HAMROUNI Rayhane, TRANIER Marie-Stéphane, BEN MENADI Yassine, ROUSSOS Sevastianos
A new prototype of a disposable solid-state culture bioreactor (DSSCB) belonging to the packed-bed category is developed for the production of fungal conidia. The bioreactor has the advantages of being autoclavable, lightweight and disposable. With a working volume of 39.52 L, it can be used for large-scale production of fungal conidia. The DS(...)

Pierre Alexandre Eric Djifaby Sombié, Hemayoro Sama, Antoine Barro, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébeogo
The study aimed to determine the effect of seeds size (length, width, thickness and 100 seeds-weight) on their phytochemical composition (total phenolics, total flavonoids, total proteins, soluble sugars and starch) of cowpea accessions (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) grown in Burkina Faso. The genotypes and their descendants had length, width,(...)

Genetic diversity among Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatkerevealed by microsatellite markers
Pingawindé SAWADOGO, Tinga Jeremy OUEDRAOGO, Teyioué Benoit Joseph BATIENO, Zakaria DIENI, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO, Abdoul Kader CONGO2, Serge Marie Félicien W. ZIDA, Boukaré KABORE, Karidiatou GNANKAMBARY, Hamadou ZONGO, Saadon Leandre PODA, Jean Baptiste de la Salle TIGNEGRE, Mahamadou SAWADOGO
The efficacy of different strategies for controlling parasitic weeds depends on the level of awareness on the genetic structure of their populations. However, although Striga gesnerioides is a major threat to cowpea production in Burkina Faso, very few studies have focused on its genetic diversity at molecular level so far. This study has been(...)

Agronomic performance of improved pearl millet cultivars in southern Chad
Gapili NAOURA, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO, Nadjiam DJIRABAYE, Mahamat Alhabib HASSANE
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a vital staple food crop for poor people in dry-land areas. It plays an important role on human consumption in South of Chad where farmers always used landraces with a little adoption of improved cultivars. Evaluation of agronomic performance of inbred cultivars at research station is important(...)

Self-delivery siRNA as a versatile tool to study molecular effectors of myelin maintenance in vivo.
Adama OUEDRAOGO, Laurence RICHARD, Prisca LEBEAU, Franck STURTZ, JeanMichel VALLAT, Benoît FUNALOT, Balé BAYALA
The myelination in Schwann cells that occurs during the fœtal life is governed by several transcription factors, including Egr2 gene. Unfortunately, mutations affecting this gene result in various human hereditary peripheral neuropathies, such as the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. There are few informations on myelin maintenance that is a dyna(...)
