Abstract

J. curcas can be considered the most promising oilseed for biodiesel production. An investigation was carried out in 179 BC4F1 progenies of a cross Jatropha curcas and Jatropha integerrima. Phenotypic diversity studies was carried out for BC4generation using DARwin package F1 to understand the range of variability available in the population.
