“…Because castor is a cross‐pollinated crop that has limited inbreeding depression, it is often treated as a self‐pollinated crop in breeding programs (Moshkin, 1986; Lavanya and Chandramohan, 2003). Detailed descriptions of methods for castor breeding can be found in Kulkarni and Ramanamurthy (1977), Moshkin (1986), Lavanya et al (2006), Auld et al (2009), and Lavanya and Solanki (2010).…”

“…Mass selection in castor has been effective for selection of traits with high heritabilities. This technique works best with self‐fertilization of selected plants to prevent cross pollination and controlled selection techniques to reduce environmental variation (Auld et al, 2009). Mass selection with self‐pollination was the most effective method for increasing the frequency of pistillate castor plants of the type NES (Bertozzo et al, 2011).…”

“…The detailed metabolism of how castor produces and stores oils with high levels of ricinoleic acid are not well understood (Lin et al, 2002; McKeon and Lin, 2002; He et al, 2004, 2005, 2007). Gaining a better understanding of castor oil biosynthesis holds promise of even higher oil contents and modified fatty acids profiles (Auld et al, 2009).…”

Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is one of the oldest cultivated crops, but currently it represents only 0.15% of the vegetable oil produced in the world. Castor oil is of continuing importance to the global specialty chemical industry because it is the only commercial source of a hydroxylated fatty acid. Castor also has tremendous future potential as an industrial oilseed crop because of its high seed oil content (more than 480 g kg−1), unique fatty acid composition (900 g kg−1 of ricinoleic acid), potentially high oil yields (1250–2500 L ha−1), and ability to be grown under drought and saline conditions. The scientific literature on castor has been generated by a relatively small global community of researchers over the past century. Much of this work was published in dozens of languages in journals that are not easily accessible to the scientific community. This review was conducted to provide a compilation of the most relevant historic research information and define the tremendous future potential of castor. The article was prepared by a group of 22 scientists from 16 institutions and eight countries. Topics discussed in this review include: (i) germplasm, genetics, breeding, biotic stresses, genome sequencing, and biotechnology; (ii) agronomic production practices, diseases, and abiotic stresses; (iii) management and reduction of toxins for the use of castor meal as both an animal feed and an organic fertilizer; (iv) future industrial uses of castor including renewable fuels; (v) world production, consumption, and prices; and (vi) potential and challenges for increased castor production.

Results of extensive evaluation and breeding have produced castor oil plant with high oleic acid mutants (Rojas-Barros et al, 2004) and low ricin cultivars (Auld et al, 2009). High oleic acid mutants are better suited for biodiesel production and low ricin varieties are less toxic.…”

“…Due to the high toxicity of ricin in castor, Audi et al (2005) recommended low ricin cultivars which inherently result in a reduced risk for growers and processors of castor seed and meal. Improved low ricin cultivars have a range of 0.10 to 5.60 mg/g (Auld et al, 2009) compared with one of its genetic parents and a commonly studied cultivar, with an average of 12.2 mg/g ricin (Pinkerton et al, 1999). Over years, India, China, Brazil, and USA supplied high percentage of castor oil globally.…”

Experiment was conducted to assess the seed oil yield and physical and chemical characteristics of ten castor plant accessions. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design replicated three times. At maturity, the racemes were harvested and seeds were extracted. One hundred gram of seed was taken from each accession for oil extraction. The extracted oils were analysed for physical properties and chemical properties. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and means were separated using least significant difference at 5% probability. Significant variations (Pc0.05) occurred among the accession's oil yield, physical and chemical properties. CASGPMAN produced highest oil content (51.90%) which was significantly higher than values obtained for other accessions. Specific gravity (0.97) obtained from IARCAS001 was significantly higher than others. Viscosity (9.4) and refractive index (1.43) obtained from NCRICAS056 were significantly higher than the values obtained from others. The highest saponification value (184.20 mg KOH/g) obtained from NCRICAS057 was significantly higher than 165.10 mg KOH/g obtained from IARCAS001. The highest free fatty acid (2.6 mg KOH/g) was obtained from NCRICAS057 while the least (1.8 mg KOH/g) was obtained from NCRICAS041. The study therefore concludes that NCRICAS057 produced oil with best physical and chemical properties.
