Jatropha curcas is a perennial woody plant species of the Euphorbiaceae family. This drought-resistant shrub is widely recognized for its potential to produce biodiesel and bio-jet fuel on marginal lands, avoiding competition with food production. However, its naturally low seed production has limited its commercial use.
