“…Except for ricinoleic acid, which is characteristic of Ricinus communis L., all other fatty acids have been reported for J. curcas; although this fatty acid has been reported recently in the species J. gossypifolia and other Euphorbiaceae 42 . Either way, it was only found in seven of the 135 accessions studied and its heritability was low Table 3 ; however, the PCA revealed that it is a relatively informative variable by having the highest percentage of variability in the second principal component Table 2 .…”

“…A huge amount of information is available on fatty acids diversity in plants, but the main interests are centered in the search for fingerprints useful in plant taxonomy (Sharma, 1993) and in the improvement for high accumulation of seed oils and for the production of novel (unusual) fatty acids or those industrially important (Hosamani and Katagi, 2008). Molecular biology tools are enabling to scientists to elucidate biochemical mechanisms implicated in the fatty acid diversity; for example, Dyer et al (2002) demonstrated that a single divergent enzyme from Aleurites fordii, named FADX, can use the most common unsaturated fatty acids in plants (oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids) to produce three different unusual fatty acids (as the 18:29cis, 12trans-eleostearic acid).…”

“…One interesting characteristic of this species is that their seed oil contains more than 70% of unsaturated fatty acids (Ovando-Medina et al, 2011), while most of tropical species have mainly saturated fatty acids, as the coconut oil (approximately 85% of saturated fats; Bezard et al, 1971) and the African oil palm (approximately 50% of saturation; Sambanthamurthi et al, 2000). Other species of Jatropha, such as J. gossypifolia have about 50% of unsaturated fatty acids (Hosamani and Katagi, 2008). Here, we review some relevant hypotheses centered in angiosperms and propose explanations for the apparently inconsistent fatty acid profile of the tropical biofuel plant J. curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae).…”

Seed oils in higher plants function as an energy source for germination, emergence and establishing as a new plant. Then, the seed oil must be a trait subjected to natural selection. In this work we revise the evolutionary function of seed oils in angiosperms, analyzing the patterns of seed oil accumulation and their fatty acids composition among species differing in habit, habitat and relatedness. We review some relevant hypotheses about the evolutionary role of seed oils and their influence on plant fitness, using as case study the, apparently, inconsistent fatty acid profile of the tropical biofuel plant Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae).

“…Jatropha gossypiifolia, a facultative annual, has heavy-fruit-bearing ability and is adapted to saline regions in Northeast Thailand and India. J. gossypiifolia is reported to have 18.5% ricinoleic acid in its seed oil [87] and physico-chemical properties of biodiesel derived from this species is in the acceptable range for use in diesel engines [88]. The species, J. tanjorensis found abundantly in Tanjore, Pudukottai and Ramnad districts of Tamil Nadu, India has been identified as a natural interspecific hybrid between J. curcas and J. gossypiifolia [55,89].…”

Jatropha curcas L., a drought tolerant, monoecious perennial shrub, has gained attention in the tropics and sub-tropics during the past decade as a potential biodiesel crop. Adequate genetic diversity for key agronomic traits is of fundamental importance in crop improvement programmes particularly for crops such as J. curcas, which are in the early stages of domestication. In J. curcas, genetic diversity in local populations and worldwide collections has been estimated using both dominant and co-dominant molecular markers systems such as random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), inter simple sequence repeats (ISSRs), sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs), etc. Assessment of genetic variation using molecular markers unequivocally established the existence of rich genetic diversity in the germplasm from Central and South American regions and narrow genetic base in populations from Asia and Africa. Establishment of phylogenetic relationships among Jatropha species using molecular markers has been limited to species naturalized and distributed in India. Research expansion over the past decade has indicated the availability of considerable genetic variation in the genus Jatropha for vegetative and floral traits linked to productivity, seed oil content, fatty acid profiles, toxicity (phorbol esters, curcin), etc. The diverse genetic sources identified in J. curcas germplasm and the compatible wild species need to be exploited for genetic improvement of the crop through conventional breeding and interspecific gene transfer, which could be further accelerated through marker-aided selection.Review Methodology: The following were consulted for the primary literature review: CAB Abstracts, Agricola, Mendeley and ScienceDirect. Some of the articles were obtained using Google Scholar and Australian New Crops. The review presents an overview on the extent of genetic diversity available in Jatropha curcas germplasm and its wild allies as disclosed through different molecular marker systems and the role of genomics and marker-assisted breeding in genetic improvement of J. curcas.http://www.cabi.org/cabreviews CAB Reviews 2012 7, No. 059
