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.(...)

Resistance Evaluation of Pearl Millet- Male-Sterility Maintainer Populations against Downy Mildew Disease in Burkina Faso
Mady Sawadogo; Inoussa Drabo; Armel Rouamba; Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) is an important cereal crop in semi-arid regions, but its production is constrained by downy mildew caused by Sclerospora graminicola. The development of resistant male-sterility maintainer lines is important for improving the resistance of pearl millet hybrids. This study aimed to develop and scr(...)
