“…Many forest species have shown inter-provenance variation in seed length and width, including Faidherbia albida (Delile) A. Chev. (Fredrick et al, 2015), Pinus roxbrughii (Ghildiyal et al, 2009), Celtis australis (Singh et al, 2006), Argania spinosa (Belcadi Haloui et al, 2017), and Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir (Johnson et al, 2020), suggesting that seed length and width are strongly influenced by geographical origins (Harel et al, 2011;Singh and Thapliyal, 2012;Madjelia and Kadidiatou, 2015;Belcadi Haloui et al, 2017;Louati et al, 2019). Geographical origin is under the influence of climatic and soil factors, which are responsible for the overall variation in plant traits (Joswig et al, 2022).…”

Knowledge of oilseeds plants’ traits and features is fundamental to understanding the natural selection process and improving conservation programs through species selection. As a forest oilseed, Ricinodendron heudelotii is the object of growing interest among value chain actors, who are increasingly interested in its intrinsic characteristics. To date, there is a lack of information on plant morphological traits for the selection of the best genotype, especially as far as seed and kernel traits are concerned. The aim of this study was to make a typology and establish the relationship between seed and kernel traits of Ricinodendron heudelotii, depending on provenances represented by wild populations of trees in southern Benin. We sampled the provenances constituted equally and per tree, ten random samples each of fruits, seeds, kernels, and shells were collected for measurement. Hierarchical classification, common component analysis, Pearson’s, and Chi-square association tests were performed for statistical analysis. Substantial variation between seed and kernel traits was observed between and within provenances. High coefficients of variation for the quantitative descriptors (length, width, and mass) of seeds and kernels appear to be the essential traits that discriminate the plant into two morphotypes. Furthermore, seed and kernel characteristics show a significant positive correlation with these discrimination criteria. The upper morphotype contains accessions from three provenances with huge seeds and kernels but few seeds per fruit, while the lower morphotype includes the other provenances with tiny seeds and kernels. The results of the study provided essential information that could be an avenue for improvement with further biochemical and molecular characterization studies.

“…In a practical way, this strategy will consist by conserving plots of Pterocarpus erinaceus cultivated within the ecological niche of the species, so that these new populations establish a bridge in terms of gene ow between different subpopulations pre-existing. As such, the research work carried out by Johnson et al [35], Ouinsavi et al [36] and Rabiou et al [37] respectively on the isolation of microsatellites, vegetative propagation trials by stem cuttings and Pterocarpus erinaceus layering trials could serve as a basis to ensure the future preservation of the species.…”

Background Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir. is a spontaneous species from the three ecological zones of Benin. It is multipurpose species integrated to the socio-economic and cultural livelihood of populations, especially in rural areas. This study examined the different uses made of the organs of Pterocarpus erinaceus in Benin in relation to sociolinguistic diversity with a view to highlighting the knowledge of local populations on Pterocarpus erinaceus and the threats to the species. Methods A total of 355 respondents, spread over 18 townships in Benin, were interviewed using a questionnaire. About 57 uses shared into 7 categories of use have been identified from the different sociolinguistic and socio-professional groups. Relative citation frequencies (FRC) of each habitat were then calculated for the description of habitat variation according to Ecological zones (EZ). In order to describe the diversification of the categories of uses and the organs / part of the tree, Principal component analyzes are carried out on the matrices comprising relative citation frequencies (FRC) grouping together the socio-demographic factors and the categories of use under the packages FactoMineR and factoextra Results This study revelated that the wood of Pterocarpus erinaceus is used (25.43%) in crafts, as charcoal, and service wood, while the leaves are mainly used (23.14%) as fodder and by traditional medecine. Concerning the roots and bark, they are used (27.14%) not only for evil spirits and bewitchment but also in animal medecine in cattle. About 60 diseases and symptoms are cured by the various organs of Pterocarpus erinaceus. These different uses of Pterocarpus erinaceus varied from one sociolinguistic group to another. Conclusion The study showed that all organs of Pterocarpus erinaceus are used in various forms of use for various purposes and make it an important species for rural communities. This result suggests the need to define conservation strategies for natural stands of Pterocarpus erinaceus for the sustainable management of the species.

“…Practically, this strategy will consist of conserving plots containing P. erinaceus, cultivated within the ecological niche of the species so that the young populations establish a bridge in terms of gene flow among various sub-populations. Thus, the research work carried out by Johnson et al (2020), Ouinsavi et al (2019), andRabiou et al (2017b) on the isolation of microsatellites and vegetative propagation of P. erinaceus, respectively, could serve as a basis to ensure the species preservation.…”

Pterocarpus erinaceus Poir, a spontaneous species from Guinean savannahs of West Africa, functions as socio-economic and cultural livelihood in rural areas of Benin. This study improved the knowledge of people about the uses of P. erinaceus organs connected to the sociolinguistic diversity in Benin, intending to enhance the pathways of conservation and sustainable management of the species. A total of 506 respondents from nine big sociolinguistic groups were interviewed using a survey questionnaire. To show the diversity of the organs/parts used as well as the categories of uses, principal component analyzes were performed to matrices including the relative frequencies of citation grouping the sociodemographic factors and the categories of uses, together under the packages FactoMineR and factoextra. The results revealed the use of all P. erinaceus organs in various forms of use for various purposes and make it an important species of livelihood for the local people. Sixty-four diseases, symptoms, or pathologies are cured by using P. erinaceus organs. These various uses of P. erinaceus varied among the sociolinguistic groups. The results of the study suggest the need to define conservation strategies for the natural stands of P. erinaceus to ensure sustainable management of the species.
