The production of biodiesel can be accomplished using a variety of feedstock sources. Plant
and microalgae based feedstocks are prominent and are studied extensively. Plant based …

There has been a growing interest in jatropha-and sugarcane-based biofuels across Sub-
Sahara Africa. Biofuel expansion in the region reflects policy concerns related to energy …

Drought is one of the most important environmental factor limiting the growth of woody and
non woody plants. In the present paper, we aimed to explore the performance of Maclura …

Drought is a major abiotic factor limiting plant growth and crop production. There is limited
information on effect of interaction between biochar and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) …

Tolerance to drought remains poorly described for Jatropha curcas accessions from different
geographical and climatic origins. To address this issue we studied the response of two J …

Drought and excess water are divergent weather conditions, predicted to strongly affect the
physiology of plants. The present study investigated the effects of varying drought stress …

In a greenhouse experiment we applied three levels of drought stress and monitored growth
variables and biomass production of Jatropha curcas seedlings propagated from three seed …

Jatropha curcas L. attracts a lot of interest as a biofuel crop, triggering large investments and
rapid expansion of cultivation areas, and yet, it should still be considered as a (semi-) wild …

The massive investment in new jatropha plantations worldwide is not sufficiently based on a
profound scientific knowledge of its ecology. In this article, we define the climatic conditions …

Current biomass sources for energy production in Iran include sewerage as well as
agricultural, animal, food industry and municipal solid wastes, and are anticipated to account …
