Jatropha curcas is a promising renewable feedstock for biodiesel and bio-jet fuel production.
To study gene expression in Jatropha in different tissues throughout development and under …

Background Jatropha curcas L. is promoted as an important non-edible biodiesel crop
worldwide. Jatropha oil, which is a triacylglycerol, can be directly blended with petro-diesel …

Background Jatropha curcas L. is an important non-edible oilseed crop with promising future
in biodiesel production. However, factors like oil yield, oil composition, toxic compounds in …

To accurately measure gene expression using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-
PCR), reliable reference gene (s) are required for data normalization. Corchorus capsularis …

Jatropha curcas is believed to be one of the potential biofuel crops, as it does not compete
with planting lands for the edible oil plants. However, J. curcas has not been domesticated …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fluorescence primers were used to
characterize the genetic variation among 63 populations of Jatropha curcas from 10 …

Oil-rich seeds of Jatropha curcas are being focussed as a source of bio-diesel. However,
prior to its industrial use, a lot of crop improvement efforts are required in Jatropha …

With the increase in crude oil prices, climate change concerns and limited reserves of fossil
fuel, attention has been diverted to alternate renewable energy sources such as biofuel and …

Jatropha curcas is considered a potential biodiesel feedstock plant whose seeds contain up
to 40% oil. However, little is currently known about the seed biology of Jatropha. Therefore, it …

Background To date, oil-rich plants are the main source of biodiesel products. Because
concerns have been voiced about the impact of oil-crop cultivation on the price of food …
