TLDR
Higher regeneration from hypocotyl and petiole explants was obtained on BA with IBA than on zeatin- or kinetin-supplemented media, and direct adventitious shoot bud induction was recorded highest on MS medium.Abstract:
Techniques for the regeneration of Jatropha curcas L. from various explants have been developed. Regeneration from hypocotyl, petiole and leaf explants was evaluated on a range of concentrations of zeatin, kinetin and N6 benzyladenine (BA) either singly or in combination with indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Higher regeneration from hypocotyl and petiole explants was obtained on BA with IBA than on zeatin- or kinetin-supplemented media. Leaf discs from the third expanding leaf exhibited higher regeneration potential than those from the fourth leaf. Independent of the explant type, direct adventitious shoot bud induction was recorded highest on MS medium with 2.22 μM BA and 4.9 μM IBA. Although the same BA concentration but with reduced IBA concentration (0.49 μM) proved effective in callus mediated regeneration from hypocotyl and leaf explants, the petioles required lower concentrations of the two growth regulators (0.44 μM BA and 0.49 μM IBA). Regenerated shoots could be rooted on growth regulator-free gelled full-strength MS medium. Following simple hardening procedures, the in vitro-raised plants could be transferred to soil and grown to maturity in the field.read more

Ashwani Kumar,Satyawati Sharma +1 more
TL;DR: Jatropha curcas, a multipurpose, drought resistant, perennial plant belonging to Euphorbiaceae family is gaining lot of importance for the production of biodiesel as mentioned in this paper, it is a tropical plant that can be grown in low to high rainfall areas either in the farms as a commercial crop or on the boundaries as a hedge to protect fields from grazing animals and to prevent erosion.

Biology and genetic improvement of Jatropha curcas L.: A review
TL;DR: This review attempts to discuss the currently available information on Jatropha species identity, taxonomy and description, distribution and ecological requirements of the species, possibilities of exploitation of genetic potentiality, exploitation of existing diversity for yield and oil content by direct selection, hybridization and creation of diversity by mutation, and biotechnological interventions.

Chemical composition and insecticidal properties of the underutilized Jatropha curcas seed oil
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest J. curcas has antioviposition and ovicidal effects on C. maculatus therefore making it a vaiable candidate for incorporation into pest control program of gain legumes.

Shoot Bud Proliferation from Axillary Nodes and Leaf Sections of Non-toxic Jatropha curcas L.
TL;DR: Protocols for in vitro propagation of non-toxic variety of J. curcas through axillary bud proliferation and direct adventitious shoot bud regeneration from leaf segments have been established and crossing studies revealed that outcrosses with toxic J.Curcas do not affect the phorbol ester content of seeds borne on the non-Toxic variety.

Role of biotechnological interventions in the improvement of castor (Ricinus communis L.) and Jatropha curcas L.
TL;DR: Great scope exists for genetic improvement through conventional methods, induced mutations, interspecific hybridization and genetic transformation, and the role of molecular tools in the genetic enhancement of the two-oilseed crops is highlighted.

Somaclonal variation — a novel source of variability from cell cultures for plant improvement
Philip J. Larkin,W. R. Scowcroft +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that this variation in plant cell culture itself generates genetic variability (somaclonal variation) that may be employed to enhance the exchange required in sexual hybrids for the introgression of desirable alien genes into a crop species.
