Description

Explore the complex landscape of Jatropha curcas, also known as physic nut, in this detailed scientific volume from Springer. This book examines a small tree capable of producing fruits with seeds containing approximately 38% oil in tropical climates. As biofuel research communities look toward new energy sources, Jatropha stands out due to its potential for high productivity and its ability to undergo subculture in vitro and genetic modification. While the genus displays remarkable diversity and is easy to cross hybridize, the transition from a promising oil crop to a commercial success has faced significant hurdles. This volume addresses the biological and economic realities of the plant, analyzing why the physic nut has faced economic challenges since 2012. It is an essential resource for researchers and professionals studying sustainable multipurpose crops and the evolution of the biofuel industry.
