Food insecurity and malnutrition remain major challenges in Niger, where protein-
rich crops are critically needed. Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is recognized as
a strategic legume due to its high protein content (typically 35–45%) and valuable
techno-functional properties reported in the literature. However, local accessions and
impro(...)

K. J. Zongo, H. Ouedraogo, L. Traore, T. W. C. Ouedraogo, I. Tiendrebeogo, M. R. Yougbare, M. Savadogo, F. W. Djigma and J. Simpore
Gram-negative bacilli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are multidrug-resistant bacteria that pose significant therapeutic challenges. Their infections often necessitate the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, which has contributed to the emergence of metallo β-lactamases. Among these, New Delhi metallo-β-lact(...)

Interface Homme-serpents en zone urbaine et péri-urbaine duBurkina Faso (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Alamou M. Henri Adje, Idrissa Kabore, Siéfo Parfait Gnoumou, Emmanuel Midibahaye Hema
L’intensification des activités anthropiques et l’expansion démographique détruisent les habitats des serpents, affectant ainsi leurdiversité et abondance. Cela a pour conséquence, la diminution ou la perte de leur biodiversité. Cependant, au Burkina Faso, les travaux sur le peuplement des serpents sont très fragmentaires et datent de plusieur(...)

Ouedraogo, T. W.C., Simporé, A., Ouedraogo, R.A., Bazié, B.V.E.J.T., Ouattara, A.K., Kagembega, Y.D., Kabre, K.M., Bado, P., Sorgho, P.A., Traoré, I.M.A., Traoré, M.A.E., Traoré, L., Zouré, A.A., Sagna, T., Zohoncon, T.M., Djigma, F.W., Ouedraogo, C.M.R.-N., Karou, D.S. and Simpore, J
Polymorphisms in certain human genes may contribute to the development of gynecological cancers. While infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
is considered the main cause, studies suggest that deletion of the Glutathione S-Transferase Thêta1 (GSTT1) gene is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer. The objective of this meta-a(...)

Rice productivity is often hampared by low soil fertility and and excessive dependence on chemical fertilizers. This study evaluated the effects of plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on ricegermination, vegetative growth, and biomass production. Rice seeds were inoculated with bacterial isolates (VDK5AN, VDK12AE, M14AN, TI13AN, and M1(...)

Physiological and Agronomic Response of Sesame [Sesamum indicum (L.)] to Temporary Water Deficit
Badoua Badiel, Razacswendé Fanta Ouédraogo, Zeya Kaboré, Carine Noba, Adama Pascal Kihindo and Edmond Dondassé
Aims: In Burkina Faso, sesame has many economic, agronomic and food potential. However, insufficient rainfall and aridity of the soil negatively affect its yield. With this in mind that the present study was conducted to determine the influence of temporary water deficit on the productivity of two varieties of sesamum introduced in Burkina Fas(...)

A comprehensive review on the uses and nutritional potentials of wild edible plants species for food security in sub-Saharan Africa
Blaise Kabré, Mamounata Belem-Ouédraogo, Fanta Reine Sheirita Tiétiambou, Aboubacar-Oumar Zon, Amadé Ouédraogo
Wild edible plants that provide non-timber forest products for food are a source of subsistence for people in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in rural areas. However, the uses and nutritional potentials of these wild plants are poorly documented. This study aims to summarize the scope of knowledge on wild edible plants in sub-Saharan Africa.(...)
