Floral biology and reproductive system of physic nut (Jatropha curcas L., Euphorbiaceae) in ‘Recôncavo da Bahia’, Brazil

Abstract: Understanding the fl oral and reproductive biology of botanical species is crucial for the development of strategies in plant breeding systems. Jatropha curcas L. is a promising species for the manufacture of biofuels, being previously studied mainly in genetic improvement to develop characteristics suitable to biofuels. In order to contribute with data for hybridization and breeding programs, this paper studies the fl oral biology and reproductive system in two experimental populations of different ages of Ja… Show more

“…Belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family, the Jatropha curcas L. plant can be an excellent representative model for this broad family of plants, whose occurrence is common in the ecosystems of the American continent, especially in Brazil, where we can mention the well-known rubber tree “ Hevea sp.”, belonging to the same family [ 15 , 16 ].…”

“…También es necesario complementar lo anterior con estudios moleculares para confirmar que las semillas producidas son genéticamente idénticas a las plantas maternas como se ha demostrado en otras especies (Pangsuban et al, 2009;Heenan, 2010). Se ha reportado que los frutos apomícticos producen pocas semillas y más pequeñas comparadas con las semillas de frutos de exocruza natural o artificial (Pangsuban et al, 2009;Heenan, 2010;De Farias, 2022). La mayoría de los frutos de F. thymifolia poseen semillas de diferentes tamaños sin importar si son de origen apomíctico o no (datos no publicados).…”
