“…In contrast, Senegalia plants are native in those regions, are directly accessible to the indigenous peoples, and produce considerable volumes of unexploited seeds that can provide food to millions of indigents. Interestingly, S. macrostachya receives attention for domestication and farming of its seeds in Burkina Faso (Yamkoulga et al, 2021;Zida et al, 2008). Research is needed to evaluate the performance of Senegalia plants in agroforestry systems.…”

“…For instance, S. macrostachya seeds are currently harvested in Burkina Faso after the farming activities between December and January, unaware of the optimal harvesting time. Then, the seeds are immediately consumed or stored to overcome food shortages without adequate knowledge of their storability (Yamkoulga et al 2021b(Yamkoulga et al , 2018. Therefore, the results of this study will be useful in providing informed guidance to the stakeholders (i.e., harvesters and traders).…”

“…Zamnè is the main valued product of S. macrostachya, at least in Burkina Faso, where it is exploited for food and receives attention for domestication and farming (Yamkoulga et al 2021b;Zida et al 2008). The selling of Zamnè generates substantial income for poor rural populations.…”

“…There are definitely important gaps of knowledge on the ecological niche, ecological performance, and the genetic variation of S. macrostachya, compromising most perspectives as a perennial crop in agroforestry systems. But still, there are some interests in its cultivation and domestication (Yamkoulga et al 2021b;Zida et al 2008). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the genetic variation and ecological performance of S. macrostachya in natural populations.…”

and the mobilization of their proteins and secondary metabolites. S. macrostachya has revealed low genetic variation and fitness to poor soils, warm and semi-arid climates in sub-Saharan Africa, prone to droughts and low to medium agricultural productivity. The maturation of the seeds involved the accumulation of specific late embryogenesis abundant proteins (60, 48, and 14 kDa), identified as chilling-responsive dehydrins, and the degradation of the chlorophylls and carotenoids, which could be used as biochemical landmarks of the harvest maturity. Besides, an aging symptom (high seed abortion rate (14-20%)) was observed in the study populations. This work provides unprecedented information that will assist in predicting the eco-climate suitability and climate resilience, identifying the conservation strategies, and planning the harvesting, reforestation programs, and domestication of S. macrostachya. In parallel, the dehydrins identified from S. macrostachya can be tapped into for drought-resistant crop development. Further research is needed to evaluate the impacts of the mother plants' aging and larger climate gradient on the performance (i.e., seed productivity and regeneration ability) of S. macrostachya.
