objective: this study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, phytochemical studies and thin layer chromatography analysis of machine oil, hexane extract of seed oil and methanol extract of presscake& latex of jatropha curcas linn (family euphorbiaceae). materials and methods: j. curcas extracts were subjected to preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening to detect the major phytochem...

In the context of energy security, rural development and climate change, India actively promotes the cultivation of Jatropha curcas, a biodiesel feedstock which has been identified as suitable for achieving the Indian target of 20% biofuel blending by 2017. In this paper, we present results concerning the range of environmental impacts of different Jatropha curcas cultivation systems. Moreover,...

Jatropha curcas is widely cultivated in Thailand, the seeds of which yield high quality oil used for biodiesel production. Toxicity due to ingestion of Jatropha curcas has become more common among children due to the close proximity between cultivation and residential areas. We report 10 calls made over a 40-month period to the Siriraj Poison Control Center involving 75 children ages 2-14 years...

Genomic DNA was isolated from leaves of three species of Jatropha, namely J. glandulifera, J. gossypifolia and J. curcas. The objective of our study was to use alcohol as a fixing solution, making liquid nitrogen unnecessary for isolation of genomic DNA from Jatropha species. The spectral quality of genomic DNA isolated using this method as measured by the A260/A280 absorbance ratio ranged from...

The present review justifies the potentials of Jatropha curcas Linn plant. Jatropha curcas l or physic nut is a drought resistant monoecious large shrub or small tree (5-8) m tall, belongs to the genus Jatropha, member of Euphorbiaceae family. The pharmacological studies revealed that Jatropha curcas Linn possess wound healing, antitumour, antimetastatic, antibacterial, larvicidal, anti-inflamm...

Jatropha curcas is a plant that can be used as substitute for diesel fuel. Lack of knowledge farmers and the limited number experts extension agents into problem dealing with disease which resulted in lower quality curcas. H2O Algorithm Curcas identification. Based on previous research, gave 96.066%. In this we Genetic to do feature selection. algorithm selection average accuracy 97.03%, means ...

BACKGROUND Jatropha curcas is thought to be a promising biofuel material, but its yield is restricted by a low ratio of instaminate/staminate flowers (1/10-1/30). Furthermore, valuable information about flower sex differentiation in this plant is scarce. To explore the mechanism of this process in J. curcas, transcriptome profiling of flower development was carried out, and certain genes relate...

Actually, the germplasm of Jatropha spp. is conserved as whole plants in field collections. Under this storage method, the genetic resources are exposed to disease, pest and natural hazards such as human error, drought and weather damage. Besides, field genebanks are costly to maintain and with important requirements of trained personnel. Thus, the development of efficient techniques to ensure ...
