Escherichia coli is a major inhabitant of the intestinal tract of most mammalian species, including humans and animals.
This bacterium is classified into four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2, D), with pathogenic strains primarily belong
ing to group B2 and, to a lesser extent, group D. This study investigated the correlation between E.(...)

Genetic analysis and heterotic potential of onion (Allium cepa L.) for some physiological and agronomic traits under rainy-season cultivation
Alpha SidyTraore, Jean Baptiste De La SalleTignegre, Zakaria Kiebre, Mathieu Anatole TeleAyenan, Mahamadou Sawadogo and Roland Schafleitner
Introduction:
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the second most commonly produced and consumed vegetable worldwide. In West Africa, high heat and moisture are key constraints for onion productivity during the rainy-season. This study aimed to assess the combining ability, heterosis, and genetic variability of five onion genotypes and 10 F1 hybrids(...)
