Seed oleosomes of Jatropha curcas L. as diversity estimators in populations of Southern Mexico
Grasas y Aceites, 2014 In this work, we used oleosome data to estimate the variability in eight J. curcas populations of Southern Mexico, using a multivariate approach. We found spherical oleosomes with diameters between 2.18 μm and 4.15 μm, which have two types of spatial ...

Environmental Factors in the Growth of Jatropha at Potorono Village, Yogyakarta
Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2015 Jatropha curcas is a perennial crop that has been known by Indonesian people for more than seven decades as a plant that produces renewable biofuel. In the present decade, plants producing biofuel are expected to be developed to overcome the lowering ...

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiesels are emerging as alternatives to diesel fuel. However, to be a feasible solution, biodiesels must meet strict criteria including high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The current study focuses on evaluating ethyl ester biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel to assess their potential.
