“…El-Kheir et al [12] investigated the morphological differences among three known Moringa species during the flowering season, namely M. oleifera, M. peregrina and M. stenopetala, and reported a significant range of variation between M. peregrina and the two other species, which are nearly similar in respect to quantitative and qualitative parameters namely the leaf, leaflet, branch and pod ( Table 2). Pod types were similar in the three species despite their different color and seeds shape but the leaves' characteristics are sufficient to distinguish these two species: M. oleifera has larger tripinnate leaves while M. peregrina is characterized with bipinnate and smaller leaves [32]. Despite the reduced information on M. concanensis to enable its parallel comparison in Table 2, this species is smaller is height and distinguishable by its flowers with yellow petals with red or pink veins, and 3 angles white or pale yellow seeds [33].…”

The Potential of Some Moringa Species for Seed Oil Production

2018

There is an increasingly demand for alternative vegetable oils sources. Over the last decade there has been fast growing interest in Moringa oleifera Lam., particularly due to its high seed oil yield (30-40%), while other Moringa species with similar potentialities are reducing their representativeness worldwide. This review reinforces the interesting composition of Moringa oil, rich in oleic acid and highly resistant to oxidation, for industrial purposes, and shows that other Moringa species could also be exploited for similar purposes. In particular, Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori has an interesting oil yield and higher resistance to pest and diseases, and Moringa stenopetala (Bak. f.) Cuf. is highlighted for its increased resistance to adverse climate conditions, of potential interest in a climate change scenario. Exploring adapted varieties or producing interspecies hybrids can create added value to these less explored species, while renewing attention to endangered species. Moringa seed oil can be extracted by conventional methods or using physical methods (pressing), creating diverse products from a compositional perspective, able to serve both the biodiesel and food industries.

“…Though the importance of Moringa as an essential nutritional and therapeutic plant has long been realized around the world for several decades (Ganesan et al, 2014), there are very scarce varieties developed for high leaf biomass. For identification, conservation, and cultivar development, wild and cultivated plant genetic variability information is vitally important (Hassanein et al, 2018). This study was conducted to analyse the morphological and genetic diversity in fifty-five Moringa germplasm lines that are growing in various agro-climatic regions of South India using phenotypic data and in house generated SSR markers.…”

Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam. Moringaceae) leaves have enormously valued for their food, medicinal and industrial uses. To evolve improved leafy biomass producing cultivars, it is essential to systematically analyse the available morphological and genetic diversity. This study investigated the genetic diversity of 55 Moringa germplasm accessions using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and leaf morphological traits by employing a wide range of genetic distance measures, clustering procedures and other multivariate methods. Though analysis with DAR win 6.0 and TASSEL 4.0 has generated three clusters, NTSY Spc 2.0 and Power Marker v.3.25 produced only two major clusters. Morphological diversity was also analysed with five leaf traits using both Minitab 20.0 and XL-STAT and they produced two main clusters. Distantly related germplasm accessions identified in this study (such as Karumbu Murungai and Kappalpatti Murungai), would be of great importance in further genetic improvement of Moringa for increased leaf biomass, a valuable trait that can ensure nutritional and economic security.

“…Moringa oleifera es un árbol caducifolio de crecimiento perenne perteneciente a la familia Moringaceae, representado por trece especies, con marcadas diferencias entre ellas, entre las que se mencionan, hábito de crecimiento, morfología del árbol, producción de biomasa aérea, entre otras (Ahmed Hassanein & Abdulah Al-Soqeer, 2018). Su cultivo se desarrolla a lo largo del cinturón tropical y en ambientes extremos, donde se documentó gran plasticidad ecológica (Gandji et al, 2020), abarca diferentes regiones donde se utiliza en la alimentación de humanos y animales (Jacques et al, 2020).…”

Producción de semilla de variedades de Moringa oleifera Lam según densidad de siembra y cosechas sucesivas

et al. 2022

Introducción. Moringa oleifera Lam. es un árbol caducifolio de crecimiento perenne ontogenérico al crecimiento de las arbustivas. Moringa es el único género de la familia Moringaceae, los principales estudios de la especie olerifera se centran en la producción de forraje y muy pocos en la producción de semillas. Objetivo. Evaluar densidades de siembra y cosechas sucesivas para la producción de semillas de variedades de M. oleifera Lam, en un ecosistema degradado por la sequía estacional en Valle del Cauto, provincia Granma, Cuba. Materiales y métodos. El estudio se desarrolló del 2016 al 2018 en bancos de semillas de la Estación Experimental de Pastos y Forrajes (20º 27´ 52,1” N 76º 40’47” O) del Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias “Jorge Dimitrov”, Cuba, mediante un diseño de bloques al azar en arreglo factorial con cuatro repeticiones, para un total de 64 tratamientos resultantes de la combinación entre densidad de siembra (4), variedades de M. oleifera (4) y número de cosechas (4). Las variables consideradas fueron: número de semillas por fruto, número de frutos por planta, longitud de frutos, peso de 100 semillas y rendimiento de semillas. Resultados. La variedad Criolla y Supergenius fueron las de mayor producción de semillas (p≤0,01) (0,67 y 0,71 t ha-1, respectivamente), en la segunda cosecha en julio de 2017, respecto al resto de las cosechas y variedades en estudio. La variedad Supergenius aportó los mayores valores en el número de semillas/fruto, número de frutos/planta y longitud de los frutos/planta con 18,23, 32,08 y 49,18 cm, respectivamente. Conclusión. Las variedades de M. oleifera en estudio no tuvieron diferencias en el potencial de producción de semillas, la densidad de siembra no tuvo efecto, solo la realización de cosechas sucesivas cada seis meses condicionó una diferenciación en la producción de semillas.
