  1. Discussion Group: Breeding

  2. Jatropha Breeding Break out:What needs to be done? Traits for: Biodiesel use Local use Natural Variation/Analysis of plant genetic resources (need to focus on Caribbean • These will include: • Oil yield, • Oil quality • Drought tolerance • Pest and disease • Resistance • seed toxicity • Plant architecture Genotyping platform Field trialing platform Medium term (6-8 years) Immediate impact Selection of best clones New cultivars

  3. Jatropha Breeding Break out:How we do it • Effective use of plant genetic resources -Collection (scouting) and evaluation • International phytosanitary agreements/simplification • Propagation - vegetative (cuttings and grafting) and sexual reproduction • R&D networking - to facilitate research and exchange of material fostered by UN agencies and international research institutions (recommendation)
