Linkage mapping in the oilseed crop Jatropha curcas L. reveals a locus controlling the biosynthesis of phorbol esters which cause seed toxicity
Andrew J. King,Luis R. Montes,Jasper G. Clarke,Julie Affleck,Yi Li,Hanneke Witsenboer,Edwin A. G. van der Vossen,Piet van der Linde,Y. K. Tripathi,Evanilda Tavares,Parul Shukla,Thirunavukkarasu Rajasekaran,Eibertus N. van Loo,Ian A. Graham +13 more
TL;DR: The identification of the locus responsible for PE biosynthesis means that it is now possible to rapidly breed new nontoxic varieties of J. curcas, and the development of improved varieties by marker-assisted breeding.

TL;DR: The ability to physically map a significant proportion of the Jatropha genome sequence onto the authors' genetic map could also prove useful in identifying the genes underlying particular traits, allowing more controlled and precise introgression of desirable alleles and permitting the pyramiding or stacking of multiple QTL.
