Genetic parameters and variability in physic nut accessions during early developmental stages

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters and variability among accessions (half-sib families) of physic nut (Jatropha curcas) during the early stages of development. For this study, 110 accessions in the first year of development of the physic nut germplasm bank, maintained at Embrapa Cerrados, DF, Brazil, were evaluated in situ. The experiment was established in a randomized complete block design, with two replicates and five plants per plot arranged in rows at 4x2 m spacing. Grain y… Show more

“…In Brazil, Abreu et al (2009) found significant genetic variability between ten accessions evaluated in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul as to four morphological traits. Laviola et al (2010Laviola et al ( , 2011) also reported the existence of genetic variability in physic nut as to different traits related to production, measured in young plants.…”

“…The evaluated traits were: grain yield (g); weight of 100 seeds (W 100 , g); number of seeds per fruit (NSF); ratio between endosperm and seed (E/S); seed length (SL, mm), width (SW, mm), and thickness (ST, mm); number of branches per plant at 0.5 (TNB 0.5 ), 1.0 (TNB 1.0 ), and 1.5 m (TNB 1.5 ); plant height (m); stem diameter (SD, mm); canopy projection on the row (CP R , m) and between lines (CP BL , m); canopy volume (CV, m 3 ); juvenility, measured as the number of days to the first flowering (NDF, days); and height of the first inflorescence (HFI, m). Canopy volume was estimated by the approximation of the volume of a cylinder, with elliptical base, using the formula described by Laviola et al (2010). The evaluations were done from November 2009 to July 2010.…”

“…Laviola et al (2010) relataram variabilidade genética em 110 acessos de pinhão-manso, no 1º ano agrícola, para diferentes características morfológicas relacionadas à produção. Abreu et al (2009) também encontraram variabilidade genética significativa, entre dez acessos avaliados quanto à altura de plantas, altura de inserção da primeira folha, ao diâmetro do colo e ao número de folhas.…”

“…O alto teor de óleo nas sementes do pinhão-manso (Jatropha curcas L.) e a expectativa de se obter alto rendimento com seu cultivo conferem à espécie grande potencial de uso no Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso de Biodiesel (Laviola et al, 2010). O desenvolvimento de híbridos e variedades melhoradas da espécie, com menor número de flores femininas, maturidade precoce, resistência à pragas e doenças, menor altura de plantas e alta ramificação, é fundamental para a consolidação da cultura no país.…”
