Abstract |
Jatropha curcas has been a promising crop for biofuel production for the last decade. However, the lack of resistant materials to diseases and improved quality of the oil produced by the seeds has restricted the use of this promising crop. The genetic modifications in the fatty acid pathway, as well as the introduction of resistance to different diseases, would change the fate of Jatropha. To achieve these goals, we need to have a very efficient regeneration system. Here, we report a very useful protocol to induce somatic embryogenesis from leaves of Jatropha using cytokinin as the only growth regulator. |
