Lazare Vourbouè Bazie, Inoussa Drabo, Koussao Some, Armel Rouamba and Pauline Bationo Kando
Early-stage drought is a major constraint that reduces pearl millet productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. To support the development of drought-resilient varieties, this study investigated the genetic control of early seedling drought tolerance using generation mean analysis on two contrasting crosses: IP-18062 × IP-8426 and IP-4927 × IKMLS1 180(...)

Hyacinthe Kobié TOE, Inoussa TOE, Moussa W. GUELBEOGO, Soumanaba ZONGO, Idrissa TRAORE, Jean-Claude Wilfried W. DAMIBA, Siaka DEDE, Ibrahim SANGARE
Dengue has re-emerged in recent years in Burkina Faso, and the capital city
Ouagadougou is the most affected city. In the absence of an effective vaccine and
treatment, control of the Aedes vector through larval source management remains one
of the key sustainable strategies for responding to dengue outbreaks. This study aims
to determine(...)

Background : Les métalloprotéinases matricielles (MMP) sont des enzymes impliquées dans plusieurs processus physiologiques normaux, mais aussi pathologiques. Les variations génétiques de plusieurs promoteurs de MMP peuvent influencer la transcription et l'expression de MMP, telles que MMP-1 (1607) et MMP-3 (1171), en créant des sites de liaiso(...)

Analyse du statut de mutation du gene EGFR chez des patients tunisiens porteurs d’un adenocarcinome pulmonaire
OUEDRAOGO Halidou, AOUE Abnondjoua Achille, OUEDRAOGO Sidziguin, Yasmin El Abed, AWEH Adjongba Bruno, H’MIDA Dorra, SAAD Ali
Introduction : La présence d’une mutation activatrice du gène EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Re-ceptor) est corrélée à une sensibilité de la tumeur aux inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinase (TKI) du gène EGFR. La recherche de ces mutations est donc essentielle pour l’indication des TKI et la décision thérapeutique chez les patients atteints d’un cance(...)

Genetic diversity of Fonio (Digitaria exilis) in Burkina Faso using SNP markers
Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUEDRAOGO, V. Nikodème KABRÉ, Boukaré KABORE and Pauline BATIONO-KANDO
Fonio (Digitaria exilis) is a cereal of food, economic and cultural importance in Burkina Faso. Although many studies have focused on its agromorphological variability, a more thorough evaluation based on the genome sequencing offer is essential for better management and valorization of this cereal. This present study aimed at determining t(...)
