Jatropha, Challenges for a New Energy Crop Volume 3: A Sustainable Multipurpose Crop
Jatropha curcas, or physic nut, is a small tree that, in tropical climates, produces fruits with seeds containing ~38% oil. The physic nut has the potential to be highly productive and is amenable to subculture in vitro and to genetic modification. It also displays remarkable diversity and is relati...
