BACKGROUND: Genetic alterations can result in DNA repair defects, increasing
susceptibility to breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
involvement of two DNA repair genes, ERCC1 (rs3212986, GenBank NC_000073.9) and
ERCC2 (rs1799793, rs13181, GenBank: NC_000019.10) in the occurrence of breast
cancer in Burkina Faso.

Assessment of Photoperiod Sensitivity and the Effect of Sowing Date on Dry-Season Sorghum Cultivars in Southern Chad
Naoura G., Emendack Y., Sawadogo N., Djirabaye N.; Tabo R.; Laza H.; Atchozou E.A.
The cultivation of dry-season sorghum on residual moisture in West and Central Africa is
highly affected by sowing dates and ecotypes used. Fifty-five dry-season sorghum ecotypes col
lected from three zones in southern Chadian were sown on two dates, early and late, in 2013 and 2014, in an α-Lattice, and replicated five times to evaluate th(...)

Some multi-purpose woody species, although currently considered as “least concern” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are undergoing several disturbances resulting from human overexploitation and changes in climate conditions and land-use types. The patterns of such disturbances are likely to vary across climate regi(...)

Sekou Armand Sanogo, Sory Diallo, Daniel Nyadanu, Téyioué Benoit Joseph Batieno, Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Cowpea [(Vigna unguiculata (L.)] is one of the most important arid legumes cultivated for pulse and forage production. However, in cowpea, not much is known about the base index selection method in breeding for drought tolerance. Consequently, the present study has been conducted to: (1 ) evaluate the yield performance of cowpea genotypes unde(...)
