The interspecific hybridization in Jatropha species has played a significant role in
crop improvement by transferring useful traits such as high oil content, maximum number of
seeds, more femaleness and hard stem for making a hybrid variety of Jatropha. Making
hybrid variety of Jatropha curcas is very potential because Jatropha curcas, as the most
primitive member of the genus, has ability to interbreed with species from both genera.
Jatropha genus has many species and each species has it own desirable trait (Table 1) that can
be used for Jatropha curcas improvement by making hybrid varieties.
The most potential hybrid variety of Jatropha is hybrid variety between Jatropha
curcas and Jatropha integerrima. Jatropha integerrima, one of the ornamental Jatropha
species, is frost tolerant, root rot resistant with sturdy stem and with high degree of resistance
to leaf eating caterpillars has assumed importance owing to its seed oil rich in linoleic acid.
Interspecific hybridization between Jatropha curcas and Jatropha integerrima was undertaken with the objective of combining the desirable traits, such as high oil, resistance to
root rot and frost tolerance. Interspecific hybrids between Jatropha curcas and Jatropha
integerrima have been succesfully developed by Sujatha and Prabakaran (2003). Novel study
regarding hybrid variety of Jatropha curcas and Jatropha integerrima found that this hybrid
variety is potential to be developed in the future because it has some favorable characteristics
like high yield and early flowering (Parthiban et al., 2009).
