A study was conducted during 2005-06 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, to assess the variability in seed parameters of 63 Jatropha curcas accessions. Various biometric and biochemical parameters of the seed were evaluated. Among the seed traits studied, seed length ranged from 15.1 to 19.6 mm and seed width ranged from 10.2 to 11.8 mm. The longest seed (19.6 mm) was recorded in the accession DORJc 32 collected from Adilabad. Six accessions collected from Adilabad, i.e. DORJc 10, DORJc 14, DORJc 18, DORJc 24, DORJc 26 and DORJc 32, were identified for high 100-seed weight (>80 g). The accessions with oil content higher than 30%, i.e. DORJc 53, DORJc 56, DORJc 57, DORJc 63, DORJc 71 and DORJc 73, can form the base population for the development of high oil lines. Fatty acid profiles of seed oil of Jatropha curcas accessions having varying oil content in their seed/kernel were examined. The accessions DORJc 54, DORJc 56, DORJc 57, DORJc 71, DORJc 73 and DORJc 74 have been identified as the ideal biodiesel types based on high cetane number (≥51).
