Phenetic relationships among different races of Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke from West Africa.
Striga gesnerioides is a root hemiparasite that primarily parasitizes dicotyledonous species, including cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) and other legumes. Based on the differential resistance response of various cultivars, landraces, and breeding lines, it has been proposed that several distinct races of cowpea-parasitic S. gesnerioides exist in West Africa. In this study, we used amplified fragm...
متن کاملAFLP markers linked to resistance against Striga gesnerioides race 1 in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata).
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used in combination with bulked segregant analysis (BSA) to identify molecular markers linked to two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) genes conferring resistance to Striga gesnerioides race 1. After AFLP analysis of an F2 population derived from a cross between the resistant cultivar Gorom and the susceptible cultivar Tvx 3236, sev...
متن کاملMetagenomic-Based Screening and Molecular Characterization of Cowpea-Infecting Viruses in Burkina Faso
Cowpea, (Vigna unguiculata L. (Walp)) is an annual tropical grain legume. Often referred to as "poor man's meat", cowpea is one of the most important subsistence legumes cultivated in West Africa due to the high protein content of its seeds. However, African cowpea production can be seriously constrained by viral diseases that reduce yields. While twelve cowpea-infecting viruses have been repor...
متن کاملBarriers to antenatal syphilis screening in Burkina Faso
INTRODUCTION Despite advances in treatment and management, syphilis remains a major public health problem in Burkina Faso. Syphilis in pregnancy poses major health risks for the mother and the fetus and also increases the risk for HIV transmission. Despite its potential benefits, antenatal syphilis screening is often poorly implemented in many sub-Saharan African countries. The purpose of the s...
متن کاملComparative study of civic agency in Burkina Faso and Togo
Despite a long-standing controversy about aid-effectiveness in general and the impact of aiddependency on governance in particular, little is known on the effect of donors policies on civic agency for democratization in aid dependent autocratic regimes. In this study it is argued that the long-term effects of double-talk of donors, who openly promote democracy and freedom but covertly follow ov...
