“…Therefore, it is important to secure an energy source with sustainable environmental development in order to maintain such comfortable life without further environmental disruption (Moniruzzaman et al 2016). There is great demand for renewable energy sources and jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is one of the potential candidate crops to be exploited as a source of biofuel.…”

Jatropha is a potential oilseed crop, which requires mitigating factors such as the low genetic variability of the species. The solution runs through the research of Brazilian germplasm. Attention should be given to the germplasm of jatropha the north of Minas Gerais, because this is the oldest national collection and because this region may be a regions of jatropha diversity due to selection pressure arising from environmental adversities. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of 48 accessions of collection from Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária de Minas Gerais (EPAMIG), using SSR and ISSR markers. The results showed low genetic diversity, but some individuals stood out as J. mollissima (48), J. podagrica (47), Mexican accessions (42, 43, 44 and 45) and some national accessions (28, 29, 41 and 46). Therefore, aiming to increase the genetic variability and improve the effectiveness of jatropha breeding programs, it is suggested to explore such as parental accessions to generate commercial hybrids. This fact implies the possibility to support future production of jatropha, since this culture may be an important source of income, especially for small farmers living in semiarid regions of Brazil.

“…Jatropha plantations did not meet commercial expectations due to the absence of a good commercial variety, lack of systematic breeding programs, and the absence of desired genetic variability within the species (Moniruzzaman et al 2016).…”

“…1). Commonly, creation of genetic variation is performed through domestication, germplasm collection, introduction, intra-and inter-species hybridization, mutation, polyploidy, somaclonal variation, germaclonal variation, and genetic engineering (Singh and Nimbkar, 2006;Singh et al, 2015;Moniruzzaman et al, 2016). During the last decades, using conventional breeding strategies, different edible and nonedible oil plants have been improved to enhance oil quality, oil yield, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses (Golkar, 2014;Merkouropoulos et al, 2016;Montes and Melchinger, 2016;Valliyodan et al, 2017).…”

HIGHLIGHTS Genetic engineering potentials to enhance oil production in emerging nonedible oil plants for economic biodiesel production were discussed. Expression, overexpression, or suppression of major genes affecting oil yield, oil composition, and tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses in bioenergy crops were reviewed. Major genes widely used to enhance oil content and composition were reviewed. Challenges in commercialization of GM oil plants were presented.

“…The biomass of the plant (wood leaves, and fruits) is used as firewood in rural areas. Jatropha produces non--edible oil which is an excellent feedstock for the production of biodiesel; the oil can also be used in producing soap, cosmetics, and in the dye industries (Moniruzzaman et al, 2016). Jatropha is being promoted widely and large scale production is found mainly in South America, Africa, India, and Southeast Asia (Openshaw, 2000).…”
