“…Within this genera, the perennial shrub E. characias commonly grows on rocky slopes, along road shoulders, and in open grounds in Mediterranean regions and reaches a height of more than 1 m. Phytochemical studies into the latex and shoots of E. characias have shown the presence of varied metabolites, such as jatrophane, ent -atisane, ent -abietane, ent -pimarane, and kaurane type diterpenoids, besides esterified or free fatty acids, sterols, tetracyclic and pentacyclic triterpenols, and two quercetin glycosides. The chemical diversity of isoprenoid constituents in this genus has been considered to be of biological and chemotaxonomic interest . In addition, and similarly to other Euphorbia spp., E. characias has drawn much attention as a potential bioenergy crop due to its substantial amount of latex, rich in hydrocarbon-like compounds, and its ability to grow in large areas of semiarid lands. , …”

“…Cultivation of plant biomass as a source of hydrocarbons or chemical feedstocks has received considerable interest recently (Buchanan et al, 1978a,b;Calvin, 1977Calvin, ,1979Calvin, ,1980Calvin, , 1982. This alternative energy production technology, however, has not attained scale-up development, due in part to a limited data base (Ward, 1982), relatively high energy inputs and production costs (Weisz and Marshall, 1979), and supplies of conventional fuels in developed, industrialized countries. However, in lesser developed arid and semiarid regions of the world, human resources and land are abundant while conventional supplies of energy and food are short (Mann et al, 1977;Hadley and Szarek, 1981).…”

“…La extracción de los compuestos apolares hidrocarbonados (mayoritarios en el látex), se llevó a cabo siguiendo el método descrito por Nemethy et al [74,119]. Utilizando un aparato de Soxhlet durante 8 h con n-hexano, seguido de una segunda reextracción del marco (bagazo) con metanol.…”

“…Posteriormente Ward [74] rebatió estos datos de productividad alegando que los experimentos de Calvin se realizaron con un número reducido de muestras, ya que solo se plantaron 250 plantas en un suelo extremadamente fértil y con suministro de agua de riego. Además, los datos recogidos, que sirvieron de base para la extrapolación de los resultados, correspondían a plantas situadas en los bordes de la parcela que generalmente dan mayores rendimientos que aquellas situadas en la zona central.…”
