High genetic diversity of Jatropha curcas assessed by ISSR
Authors: B.G. DÃ?Âaz, D.M. Argollo, M.C. Franco, S.M. Nucci, W.J. Siqueira, D.M. de Laat and C.A. Colombo
Jatropha curcas L. is a highly promising oilseed for sustainable production of biofuels and bio-kerosene due to its high oil content and excellent quality. However, it is a perennial and incipiently domesticated species with none stable cultivar created until now despite genetic breeding programs in progress in several countri.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis of Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae) based on methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism
Authors: T. Kanchanaketu, N. Sangduen, T. Toojinda and V. Hongtrakul
Genetic analysis of 56 samples of Jatropha curcas L. collected from Thailand and other countries was performed using the methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism (MSAP) technique. Nine primer combinations were used to generate MSAP fingerprints. When the data were interpreted as amplified fragment length polymorphism (.. Read More»

Multivariate diallel analysis allows multiple gains in segregating populations for agronomic traits in Jatropha.
Authors: P.E. Teodoro, E.V. Rodrigues, L.A. Peixoto, L.A. Silva, B.G. Laviola, L.L. Bhering
Jatropha is research target worldwide aimed at large-scale oil production for biodiesel and bio-kerosene. Its production potential is among 1200 and 1500 kg/ha of oil after the 4th year. This study aimed to estimate combining ability of Jatropha genotypes by multivariate diallel analysis to select parents and crosses that allo.. Read More»

Path analysis and canonical correlations for indirect selection of Jatropha genotypes with higher oil yield
Authors: L.A. Silva, L.A. Peixoto, P.E. Teodoro, E.V. Rodrigues, B.G. Laviola, L.L. Bhering
Jatropha is a species with great potential for biodiesel production, and the knowledge on how the main agronomic traits are correlated will contribute to its improvement. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters of the traits: plant height at 12 and 40 months, canopy projection on the row.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of a SnRK2 gene from Jatropha curcas L
Authors: J. Chun, F.-S. Li, Y. Ma, S.-H. Wang and F. Chen
Although the SnRK2 class of Ser/Thr protein kinases is critical for signal transduction and abiotic stress resistance in plants, there have been no studies to examine SnRK2 in Jatropha curcas L. In the present study, JcSnRK2 was cloned from J. curcas using the rapid amplification of cDNA end technique and characterized. The JcSnRK2 genomic sequence is 257.. Read More»

Ascorbate peroxidase from Jatropha curcas enhances salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis
Authors: Y. Chen, J. Cai, F.X.Yang, B. Zhou and L.R. Zhou
Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) plays a central role in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle and is a key enzyme in cellular H2 O2 metabolism. It includes a family of isoenzymes with different characteristics, which are identified in many higher plants. In the present study, we isolated the APX gene from Jatropha curcas L, which is similar with other previously ch.. Read More»

Genetic divergence through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters in accessions of Jatropha curcas
Authors: C.N. Pestana-Caldas, S.A. Silva, E.L. Machado, D.R. de Souza,E.C. Cerqueira-Pereira and M.S. Silva
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic divergence between accessions of Jatropha curcas through joint analysis of morphoagronomic and molecular characters. To this end, we investigated 11 morphoagronomic characters and performed molecular genotyping, using 23 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers in 46 acce.. Read More»

Effects of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, native microorganisms, and rock dust on Jatropha curcas L. growth
Authors: E.B. Santana, E.L.S. Marques and J.C.T. Dias
Microorganisms with the ability to release nutrients to the soil from insoluble sources may be useful for plant cultivation. We evaluated the growth-promoting effect on Jatropha curcas L. of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and the native microbiota in soil with or without rock dust. J. curcas L. is important for biodiese.. Read More»

A Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase from Jatropha curcas enhances salt tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana
Authors: Z.B. Liu, W.J. Zhang, X.D. Gong, Q. Zhang and L.R. Zhou
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are involved in protecting plants against diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. In the present study, a novel Cu/Zn-SOD gene (JcCu/Zn-SOD) was cloned from Jatropha curcas L. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that JcCu/Zn-SOD is constitutively expressed in different tissues of J. curc.. Read More»
