Populations of F 1 , F 2 and BC 1 F 1 were formed from an interspecific cross between green-flowered Jatropha curcas and red-flowered J. integerrima (dwarf type) to observe for segregation in flower colors and to select for ornamental segregants. The crossing to produce F 1 and BC 1 F 1 was successful only when J. curcas was used as the female parent. The suitable time for crossing was between 08:00 -13:00 o'clock with fruit setting rate of 65-78%. The F 1 segregated into white-and pink-flowered plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
