Ethyl ester biodiesel has been produced from a non-edible Jatropha curcas oil. Oil was
extracted from the plant seed using n-hexane at 60° C and pretreated by alkaline refining …

Molecular characterization and evaluation of germplasm was carried out using 10 Inter
simple sequences repeat (ISSR) on 48 accessions of Jatropha curcas (L) collected from …

Variability in floral, fruit, and seed characteristics, and oil content of 15 accession of Jatropha
curcas during early development were assessed during two flowering periods in south …

Jatropha curcas L.(jatropha) is a species identified for biofuel production because of the
high quality of the oil produced by its seeds. However, jatropha is undomesticated and little …

Phenotypic and genotypic variability were evaluated in a population of 227 F 2 plants
derived from an interspecific cross between Jatropha curcas (cv.“Chai Nat”) and Jatropha …

Jatropha curcas L., an important oilseed crop of the family Euphorbiaceae is valued for its oil
as a fuel oil and biodiesel/aviation fuel feedstock. The adaptability and robustness of the …

Significant efforts have been undertaken in West Africa to increase biofuel production with
the expectation to alleviate the dependency on fossil energies and to reduce rural poverty by …

Genetic variation in the genome of a given species is the basis for natural selection and
genetic improvement through selective breeding. We applied 29 microsatellites located on …

The objective of this chapter was to present the agronomic and industrial advantages of
three new varieties of Jatropha that were developed in Mexico in order to meet the demand …

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar as capacidades geral e específica de combinação,
