Assessing ecosystem services based on indigenous knowledge in south-eastern Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Issaka Ouédraogoa, Blandine Marie Ivette Nacoulmaa, Karen Hahnb & Adjima Thiombianoa
Ecosystems are sources of services such as food, water, timber, firewood, health, and spiritual benefits. The unsustainable human use of ecosystems has led to significant declines in the capability of these ecosystems to provide services. In contribution to the preservation of ecosystems, this study aims to assess the potential ecosystem servi(...)

Potent Antiproliferative Cembrenoids Accumulate in Tobacco upon Infection with Rhodococcus fascians and Trigger Unusual Microtubule Dynamics in Human Glioblastoma Cells
Aminata P Nacoulma, Veronique Megalizzi, Laurent R Pottier, Manuela De Lorenzi, Sylviane Thoret, Joëlle Dubois, Olivier M Vandeputte, Pierre Duez, Danny Vereecke, Mondher El Jaziri
hough plant metabolic changes are known to occur during interactions with bacteria, these were rarely challenged for pharmacologically active compounds suitable for further drug development. Here, the occurrence of specific chemicals with antiproliferative activity against human cancer cell lines was evidenced in hyperplasia (leafy galls) indu(...)

Privatization of Education and Labor Force Inequality in Urban Francophone Africa: The Transition from School to Work in Ouagadougou
Calves Anne Emmanuel, Jean-François Kobiané and Afiwa N’Bouke
As in many other francophone African countries, there has been increased privatization of the school system in Burkina
Faso since the 1990s, especially in urban areas. Based on a unique retrospective survey conducted in Ouagadougou, this research investigates a largely unexplored issue in Africa: the impact of private schooling on subsequent(...)

Metabolomic-Based Study of the Leafy Gall, the Ecological Niche of the Phytopathogen Rhodococcus Fascians, as a Potential Source of Bioactive Compounds
Aminata P Nacoulma, Olivier M Vandeputte, Manuella De Lorenzi, Mondher El Jaziri, Pierre Duez
Leafy gall is a plant hyperplasia induced upon Rhodococcus fascians infection. Previously, by genomic and transcriptomic analysis, it has been reported that, at the early stage of symptom development, both primary and secondary metabolisms are modified. The present study is based on the hypothesis that fully developed leafy gall, could represe(...)
