“…The wood is suitable for making kitchen implements, such as mortars, pestles and bowls, and handles of hoes and hacks, and it is occasionally also used for house building, mainly for indoor construction. It is also used as firewood and may be suitable for paper production [22]. The fibers of pods (husks) and roots are used as sponges, strings of musical instruments, and for the production of small baskets.…”

Medicinal plants are an unceasing source of herbal medicine from which many molecules are being isolated for the treatment of various diseases. Parkia biglobosa (family; Mimosaceae), commonly known as African locust bean is an economically vivacious plant of tropical and subtropical regions, cultivated in many countries across the world. Parkia biglobosa contains a broad spectrum of phytochemicals, including polysaccharides, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, tannins, saponins, glycosides, sterols, triterpenes, saponosides, tannins, reducing compounds, coumarins, anthocyanosides, flavonosides. These bioactive components are responsible for the pharmacological properties of this auspicious plant and demonstrate its importance in daily intake and alimentation. Traditionally, different parts of the plant are used as anticancer, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetes, antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, antiinflammatory activity. In the current review, pharmacological attributes, the nutritional value of Parkia biglobosa, and the medicinal properties of its various parts have been elaborated to provide collective information on this multipurpose commercial plant

“…The species grows in multiple climatic zones and is widely distributed from Senegal and Guinea in West Africa to Uganda in Central Africa (Lompo et al, 2018). Parkia biglobosa is maintained in the parklands of Africa for nontimber forest foods (Houndonougbo et al, 2020;Leakey, 2012;Okoye et al, 2014). P. biglobosa is a valuable resource for the livelihoods of local people in Sub-Saharan Africa because of its multipurpose function as a source of food, nutrition, medicine and income (Matig et al, 2002;Nikiema, 2005;Awodoyin et al, 2015;Sankhon et al, 2014;Shao, 2002;Sina and Traore, 2002;Teklehaimanot, 2004).…”

Understanding the level and distribution of genetic diversity in African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) would strengthen breeding and conservation programmes towards domestication and sustainable use of this species. Sixteen accessions of P. globosa were assessed for variability based on seed morphology, seed protein and DNA profiling. Significant variation in seed characteristics were observed across locations. Seed protein profiling by SDS-PAGE revealed homogeneity as most bands were found common in all accessions, indicating that the protein profiles are highly conserved. Protein profiling separated the 16 accessions into four major clusters at 0.93 similarity coefficient. Most accessions grouping into Cluster 1 had a similarity coefficient of close to 100% and were from the Derived Savanna suggesting the presence of duplicates. Accessions NH/2016/P14, NH/2016/P03 and NH/2016/P04 grouped into clusters II, III and IV; respectively. Sixteen RAPD markers generated a total of 256 bands of which 63.67% were polymorphic. Gene diversity ranged from 0.41 to 0.93 and Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) from 0.39 to 0.93. The RAPD-based dendrogram separated accessions into six groups at 0.68 similarity coefficient. Based on a polymorphic seed storage protein marker a genetically distinct accession NH/2016/P04 could be exploited for breeding purposes. The homogeneity of alleles and narrow genetic base as revealed by RAPD and SDS-PAGE analyses suggests possible loss of intraspecific genetic diversity. Thus, intensification of germplasm collections across the different agroecological zones and characterization using specific markers will give a better understanding of diversity of P. biglobosa in order to enhance selection towards conservation, breeding and sustainable utilization.

Khaya senegalensis is one of the largest and most majestic trees in Africa. Overexploited for its precious wood and medicinal values, the natural stands of this species are in danger of extinction in Côte d'Ivoire. Its sustainable management through regeneration techniques and assessment of its degree of adaptation to the changing climate is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different environments on seedling germination and development in Khaya senegalensis. A total of 2160 seeds from different mother plants and 540 individuals from seed germination were selected and evaluated. The trials were conducted on three sites that were distinct by their microclimate (two nurseries in Côte d'Ivoire and one greenhouse in France). Analysis of variance showed that germination and morphology parameters were not influenced by the characteristics of the mother plants used (p > 0.05), but rather by the study sites (P < 0.05). The stable and controlled greenhouse climate was more advantageous for latency time (12.66 ± 0.80 days), germination delay (16.96 96 ± 0.54 days), germination speed (19.66 ± 2.95 days), germination duration (10.83 ± 2.27 days) and germination rate (88.88 ± 7.97) with more vigorous sowing than the other two sites. The results showed in general that the higher the height of the seedlings, the thicker the diameter of the seedlings (r = 0.796) and the higher the number of leaves (r = 0.946). This savannah species is native to the arid zones of Africa, but this study highlighted its adaptive potential to changing and different climates. These results are decision support tools for the regeneration of native pioneer forest species with high agroforestry potential and socioeconomic impor
