Abstract

Jatropha curcas (L.) has gained interest when it is realized as a potential source of vegetable oil for biodiesel production, a process that results with a press-cake rich in protein. However, press-cake cannot be used without processing due to its high content of toxic and antinutritional compounds. The Jatropha genetic resources remain poorly characterized; however in Mexico exists in the wild a non-toxic J. curcas genotype with high potential as a source of information for plant breeding in order to obtain varieties with increased oil contents and low amount of toxic compounds that will increase the use of press-cake as feedstock. Then it is necessary to unravel the mechanisms of triacylglycerol and antinutrients biosynthesis pathways. Proteomics is a powerful tool that has been used to identify the proteins that are accumulated in the different seed tissues, e.g. endosperm, integument, oil bodies, and plastids, with the aim to generate information about key enzymes that could be potential targets for the development of new strategies for the selective breeding of Jatropha.
