“…Genome editing is a conventional method that is applied to alter the genotype and phenotype of organisms (Zhang et al 2017 ) and involves the exploitation of both natural and induced mutations in crop improvement. Several genome editing tools are now available (Please see Hassanin et al 2019 ) although the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–CRISPR-associated protein-9 nuclease (Cas9) (CRISPR–Cas9) (Doudna and Charpentier 2014 ) is the most common. Genome editing might be used to rapidly modify undesirable traits in orphan plants and accelerate the process of domestication.…”

Climate change is rapidly changing how we live, what we eat and produce, the crops we breed and the target traits. Previously underutilized orphan crops that are climate resilient are receiving much attention from the crops research community, as they are often the only crops left in the field after periods of extreme weather conditions. There are several orphan crops with incredible resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. Some are nutritious, while others provide good sources of biofuel, medicine and other industrial raw materials. Despite these benefits, orphan crops are still lacking in important genetic and genomic resources that could be used to fast track their improvement and make their production profitable. Progress has been made in generating draft genomes of at least 28 orphan crops over the last decade, thanks to the reducing cost of sequencing. The implementation of a structured breeding program that takes advantage of additional modern crop improvement tools such as genomic selection, speed breeding, genome editing, high throughput phenotyping and breeding digitization would make rapid improvement of these orphan crops possible, but would require coordinated research investment. Other production challenges such as lack of adequate germplasm conservation, poor/non-existent seed systems and agricultural extension services, as well as poor marketing channels will also need to be improved if orphan crops were to be profitable. We review the importance of breeding orphan crops under the increasing effects of climate change, highlight existing gaps that need to be addressed and share some lessons to be learned from major crops.

Understanding the dynamics of multipurpose species in savanna ecosystems is essential for their sustainable conservation. This study aims to assess the population structure of five target species (Tamarindus indica, Vitellaria paradoxa, Detarium microcarpum, Anogeissus leiocarpa, and Crossopteryx febrifuga) in the forest management site of Tiogo. Floristic inventory was conducted on 100 plots of 1000 m2. Non-Metric Multidimensional Analysis was carried out to characterized the target species’ habitats. A total of 70 species distributed in 23 families and 55 genera were recorded. Four groups of overlapping plant communities were identified. Each group constitutes a habitat of target species with diverse ecological drivers. Weibull distribution showed an overall good population structure for Vitellaria paradoxa, Detarium microcarpum and Crossopteryx febrifuga. However, Tamarindus indica and Anogeissus leiocarpa showed bad regeneration potential with lack of recruitment in the smaller diameter size classes. It is therefore important to increase the monitoring in the forest management site. This work has provides valuable information for better management of target species, aiding in effective forest management of Tiogo, subject to anthropic pressures.

“…Due to the presence of phytoconstituents like flavonoids (5,7dihydroxy-3-isoprenyl flavone and 5-hydroxy-3-isoprenyl flavone), phenolic compounds, and alkaloids (Asparagin, ephedrine, vascicinone, vascinol, and pseudoephedrine), the ethanolic extract produced more significant results. Detarium microcarpum has a wealth of antioxidant characteristics, according to various studies (Hassanin et al 2018; Meda et al 2017) [62,103] , and it is effective in treating several disease conditions, including diabetes, cancer (Ngulde et al 2015) [111] , helminthiasis (Haladu et al 2020) [59] , and others. At 10 mg/ml, D. microcarpum demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against Salmonella paratyphi, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli (Semde et al 2018; Ebi & Afieroho, 2011) [143,41] .…”

Recent scientific studies have focused heavily on the use of medicinal plants in agriculture and folkloric medicine as a complementary therapy, preventive strategy, or full therapy. Phytotherapy is being used more and more frequently for preventive purposes, the treatment of minor or chronic diseases, and recurrent infections, and for the advancement of organic livestock. In order to increase the activity of the immunological or reproductive systems and stimulate biochemical, haematological, or certain organ functions, extract preparations of several plants have been utilized. Many herbal metabolites have demonstrated antibacterial, antioxidant, reproductive enhancement and insecticidal properties. The most often utilized plants for health, reproduction, parasites, and insect pests' control were carefully reviewed in this article.
