Adaptative response of two varieties of cowpeas to water stress
HAMIDOU, F., Mamoudou H. DICKO ZOMBRE, G., TRAORE, A. S., and GUINKO, S
This study examined the adaptive response of the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) to water stress at the beginning of pod formation. The regulation of carbohydrate levels, sucrose and starch in particular, was monitored in two varieties: local Gorom and KN1. In addition, the specific leaf mass and components of yield were studied. When th(...)

Structure du peuplement juvénile et potentialités de régénération des ligneux dans l’Est du Burkina Faso.
OUEDRAOGO Amadé, THIOMBIANO Adjima, HAHN-HADJALI Karen, GUINKO Sita
La distribution en classes de hauteur des jeunes sujets a été étudiée pour apprécier la structure de la population juvénile et la régénération ligneuses dans les savanes de 1'Est du Burkina Faso. Les relevés sont effectués suivant un gradient climatique traversant les secteurs sub-sahélien, nord-soudanien et sud—soudanien. Dans des parcelles u(...)

Impact of Phenolic Compounds and Related Enzymes in Sorghum Varieties for Resistance and Susceptibility to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses
DICKO Mamoudou. H., GRUPPEN, H., Barro, C.; TRAORE, A. S.; van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. J
Contents of phenolic compounds and related enzymes before and after sorghum grain germination were compared between varieties either resistant or susceptible to biotic (sooty stripe, sorghum midge, leaf anthracnose, striga, and grain molds) and abiotic lodging, drought resistance, and photoperiod sensitivity) stresses. Independent of grain ger(...)

Parental Death and Children’s Schooling in Burkina Faso
Jean‐François Kobiané, Anne‐Emmanuèle Calvès, and Richard Marcoux
On observe au cours des dernières années, un intérêt croissant pour l’étude du bien-être des orphelins, sans doute en relation avec la pandémie du VIH/SIDA. Aussi, une majeure partie de la littérature sur les orphelins porte sur les pays d’Afrique de l’Est ou Australe, régions les plus touchées par le VIH/SIDA. On sait pourtant peu de choses s(...)

Indigenous West African plants as novel sources of polysaccharide degrading enzymes: application in the reduction of the viscosity of cereal porridges
144. DICKO Mamoudou. H., Searle-van LEEUWEN, M. J. F., BELDMAN, G., OUEDRAOGO, O. G., HILHORST, R. and TRAORE, A. S
Ethnobotanical and biochemical surveys revealed that some local plants from West Africa are novel sources of polysaccharide degrading enzymes such as amylases and glucanases. The study shows that these enzymes could be used for various biotechnological applications. In a crude extract of Curculigo pilosa, ß-amylase was the main starch hydrolyz(...)

Acute toxicity and antioxydant property of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth (Scrophulariaceae)
Martin Kiendrebeogo, Marie-Geneviève Dijoux-Franca, Charles Euloge Lamien, Aline Meda, Denis Wouessidjewe
Plants containing flavonoids have been reported to possess strong antioxidant properties. The aqueous acetone extract of Striga hermonthica was further separated into aqueous and ethyl acetate fractions and assayed for their in vitro antioxidant properties using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The crude extract exhibits a weak antioxidan(...)

Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of polyphenols from ethnomedicinal plants of Burkina Faso
KAROU, D., Mamoudou H. DICKO, SIMPORE, J., and Traoré, A. S
Polyphenols from four medicinal plants of Burkina Faso, Combretum micranthum, Khaya senegalensis, Pterocarpus erinaceus and Sida acuta, were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria. The medicinal plants displayed different polyphenols contents and antioxidant activities. The bark of P. erinaceus(...)
