Reproductive biology characteristic of Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae).
Jatropha curcas belongs to family of Euphorbiaceae, and is an important biological tree species for diesel production. The current descriptions of the phenotypic traits for male and female flowers are not comprehensive and there have been no reports about the process of J. curcas from pollen germination on stigma to pollen tubes conducting fertilization after entering the ovary and ovule. To as...
متن کاملInsects Associated With Jatropha curcas Linn. (Euphorbiaceae) in West Niger
Jatropha curcas has been introduced into Niger since 2004 by International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). This plant is cultivated for its oil, which can be used as a Biofuel. Through direct and indirect insect collection methods, an inventory of the insect associated with J. curcas has been conducted in Western Niger during two rainy seasons (from June to October...
متن کاملTransformation of toxic potential of Jatropha curcas (Ratanjyot) into protein source: A mini-review
The production of animal largely depends on supplying of quality feed and proteinaceous supplement to the animals. Jatropha plant can grow in the barren lands, and are used as a source of biodiesel. Besides, the plant may act as a rich proteinaceous source. However, the antinutritional factors present in the seed and seed oil of the plant may hamper the availability and beneficial use of the pl...
متن کاملMapping of QTLs for Seed Phorbol Esters, a Toxic Chemical in Jatropha curcas (L.)
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is an oil-bearing plant that has potential to be cultivated as a biodiesel crop. The seed cake after oil extraction has 40-50% protein that can be used in animal feeds. A major limitation in utilizing the cake is the presence of phorbol esters (PE), a heat-tolerant toxic chemical. To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for PE, we constructed a genetic linka...
متن کاملDevelopment of microsatellite primers for Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae) and transferability to congeners.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed for Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae), a tree species with large potential for biofuel production, to investigate its natural genetic diversity and mating system to facilitate the establishment of tree improvement and conservation programs. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a protocol for genomic library enrichment, 104 clones containing 195 re...
