Objective: This study aims to update the database of fungi associated to Bambara groundnut foliardiseases in Burkina Faso using both molecular and morphological identification approaches.Methodology and Results: In this study, molecular approach based on the sequencing of ITS (InternalTranscripted Spacer) region of fungi and morphological approach were used to identify the main fungiassociated to Bambara…

Bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt] is one of the most important subsistance legumes cultivated inBurkina Faso, due to the high nutrient content of its seeds. However, bambara groundnut production can be seriouslyconstrained by fungal diseases that reduce yields. Macrophomina phaseolina is one of fungal pathogen that causes importantdamage in bambara groundnut fields in Burkina…

Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt specie is a traditional African legume, grown in all parts of Burkina Faso. It plays a huge role in the resilience of poor people to food and nutritional insecurity. In order to contribute to the safeguarding of the genetic resources of this specie and to better valorize it in the selection…

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is an African legume with a great nutritional, economic and social potential. However, one of the main constraints to this crop is viral diseases which reduced yields. Indeed, approximately 12 viruses have been reported to infect bambara groundnut. Among these, only four were reported from Burkina Faso, namely, cowpea aphid-borne mosaic…
